in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law makes it a crime to fake official cotton standards to deceive or defraud someone. It's also illegal to alter or tamper with a real standard without the Secretary of Agriculture's written permission. And it's illegal to use a standard copy after the Secretary condemns it.

This section makes three things illegal involving the official U.S. cotton standards created under this chapter. (a) It is unlawful for anyone, intending to deceive or defraud someone, to make, receive, use, or possess a simulated or counterfeit copy of a cotton standard, or of any part of one. (b) It is unlawful to make, alter, tamper with, or in any way change a real copy of a cotton standard established under this chapter, unless the Secretary of Agriculture has given written authority to do so. (c) It is unlawful to display or use a copy of a cotton standard after the Secretary of Agriculture has caused it to be condemned, meaning officially declared no longer valid.
