Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
This resolution is a non-binding statement by the House of Representatives that supports designating August 2–8, 2026 as National Farmers Market Week and recognizes the role of farmers markets. It does not create legal rights, change federal law, or require government action. It is a symbolic expression meant to raise awareness and acknowledge the importance of farmers markets.
This simple House resolution supports designating August 2–8, 2026, as "National Farmers Market Week." It cites farmers markets' economic role, growth, public education value, links to sustainable farming, and benefits for low-income people using Federal nutrition benefits.
The resolution recognizes farmers markets' community and economic contributions but does not create new programs or funding.
Symbolic, narrow, no fiscal effects and broad appeal; high chance of House adoption, though it does not create binding law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-formed symbolic resolution: it clearly identifies the week to be designated and supplies supporting statements about farmers markets. It does not create legal obligations or require implementation mechanisms, which is consistent with this type of measure.
