What this bill does
This bill, S. 2522, is the Senate Appropriations Committee's fiscal year 2020 funding measure for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, rural development programs, and the Food and Drug Administration. It sets specific dollar amounts for USDA offices and agencies, including the Office of the Secretary, the Office of the Chief Information Officer, the Agricultural Research Service, the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and the Agricultural Marketing Service. It also directs how those funds may be used, including limits on administrative costs, restrictions on building alteration costs, requirements for state cost-sharing on certain disease programs, and provisions allowing agencies to collect and retain fees for specific services.
The bill affects a wide range of parties connected to agriculture and rural policy, including USDA staff and mission areas, land-grant and 1890/1994 institutions receiving research and education funding, state agriculture agencies, universities partnering on research facilities, and programs addressing plant and animal disease, food safety, and agricultural marketing. Because FDA is also covered under this appropriations bill's broader title, the agency's operations are affected as well, though the excerpted text focuses on USDA accounts.
The bill was introduced and reported by the Senate Appropriations Committee on September 19, 2019, with Report No. 116-110, and placed on the Senate calendar. According to the official CRS summary, its provisions were ultimately incorporated into other legislation that was enacted, meaning this specific bill itself did not proceed to final passage as a standalone measure.
