Risk-based Oversight for Integrity Act

This bill changes the federal law that governs certified organic food. It defines "risk to organic integrity" as the chance that a product sold as organic was not grown or processed under organic rules. It keeps annual inspections of certified organic farms and handlers, but lets U.S. operations be inspected on-site once every three years, with the years in between done on-site or virtually based on risk. It also requires the Secretary of Agriculture to study risk-based oversight, report findings within 18 months, and allows new regulations based on that study.
