Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

More loan funding for rural businesses

If enacted, this bill would amend the Rural Electrification Act to authorize $12 million each year for the Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Program for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. That is $2 million more per year than the prior $10 million annual authorization for fiscal years 2019–2023. The change would increase the program's available loan and grant authority to help rural businesses, cooperatives, and local projects. Congress would still need to appropriate the money before loans or grants increase.
