Food and Energy Security Act of 2007
2ND SESSION
An Act
To provide for the continuation of agricultural and other programs of the Department of Agriculture
through fiscal year 2012, and for other purposes.
EXPLANATORY NOTE:
- The House and Senate passed H.R. 2419 (the Food and Energy Security Act of 2007; Public Law 110-234) over veto, enacting 14 of 15 farm bill titles into law.
- The Trade title (Title III) was inadvertently excluded from the enrolled bill. To remedy the situation, both chambers re-passed the farm bill conference agreement (including the Trade title) as H.R. 6124 (Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008; Public Law 110-246), again over veto.
- H.R. 6124 (Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008; Public Law 110-246), in Section 4, repealed Public Law 110-234 (the Food and Energy Security Act of 2007) and amendments made by it, effective on the date of that Act's enactment.
