Checkoff Transparency Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Agriculture to post information about commodity promotion programs, often called "checkoff" programs, on the Department of Agriculture website. For each such program, the posted information would include audit reports submitted by each commodity board, the board activities and budgets approved by the Secretary for each fiscal year, and the results of periodic independent evaluations. Within 180 days after the law takes effect, the Secretary would have to publish this information for the previous 5 full fiscal years. After that, the Secretary would have to publish each year's information within 365 days after that fiscal year ends.
