Summary

Updates and reauthorizes portions of the United States Grain Standards Act by shifting multi-year funding language to 2026–2030, clarifying inspection and agency roles, changing multiple references from “fund” to “trust fund,” and directing the Secretary of Agriculture to prioritize improved grain grading technology. It also creates a holdover rule for advisory committee members, expands eligible uses to include equipment and technology development, and converts a discretionary annual report into a mandatory December 1 yearly report that must analyze technology evaluation deficiencies and propose recommendations.
