SHRIMP Act of 2026 Shrimp Honesty and Responsibility in Import...
To direct the Secretary of Commerce to develop a methodology for identifying country of origin of shrimp, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to create a system for accurately identifying the country of origin of shrimp imported into the United States. It would require the Secretary of Commerce to develop a methodology for this purpose. This could help ensure that shrimp imported to the U.S. meets certain standards and regulations, potentially affecting importers, consumers, and seafood businesses.
The bill has recently been introduced in the House and has been referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology for further consideration. As of June 4, 2026, it is in the initial stages of the legislative process.
This bill has bipartisan support, with sponsors from both the Republican and Democratic parties. The next steps will involve committee review and potential amendments before it could move forward for a full House vote.
