Laws This Bill Would Affect

1 amendment
Amends7 U.S.C. 8792

Amends 7 U.S.C. 8792 by (1) removing the "subject to the availability of funds under subsection (d)" funding condition in subsection (b); (2) replacing subsection (c)(3)(B) with a new payment-limitation rule prohibiting the Secretary from imposing a limitation on amounts received by an individual in fiscal years when available funds equal or exceed the amount needed to satisfy applications; and (3) replacing subsection (d) to require specified mandatory Commodity Credit Corporation funding amounts for fiscal years 2026–2031 and thereafter.

AI Summary

This bill would make sure there is steady, guaranteed funding to reimburse geographically disadvantaged farmers and ranchers. It directs the USDA to use Commodity Credit Corporation funds each year, instead of relying on year-to-year availability. It also stops USDA from capping how much an eligible farmer or rancher can receive in years when total funding is enough to cover all approved applications.

Key points:

  • Who is affected: Geographically disadvantaged farmers and ranchers.
  • What changes: Funding becomes mandatory from the Commodity Credit Corporation; no payment cap in years when funding can cover all approved applications.
  • When: Sets annual funding of $10 million in 2026, then $11M (2027), $12M (2028), $13M (2029), $14M (2030), and $15M for 2031 and every year after.

In simple terms, this aims to provide reliable help to these farmers and ranchers by locking in yearly dollars and removing limits in fully funded years, so more of their eligible costs can be covered.
