What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)
Summary: The bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a practice exercise within four years to test how federal, state, and local agencies and private companies could work together to prevent, respond to, and recover from a terrorist attack on U.S. agriculture and food systems, using a scenario involving the release of a biological agent. Within six months of completing the exercise, the department would need to report its findings and recommendations to Congress.
