It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To require that certain agencies only procure cut flowers and cut greens grown in the United States, and for other purposes.
Summary
The bill requires the Executive Office of the President, Department of Defense, and Department of State to purchase only U.S.-grown cut flowers and cut greens using appropriated funds. The requirement applies to procurements made or contracted for in the United States beginning one year after enactment. The bill allows these agencies to accept gifts of foreign-grown flowers from foreign governments or foreign agents only if the origin is clearly displayed and the agency simultaneously procures a U.S.-grown flower to display alongside the foreign gift. The origin of any foreign-grown flowers must remain clearly displayed for the entire display period.
