What this bill does
S. 2131 is the Senate Appropriations Committee's version of the fiscal year 2024 funding bill for the Department of Agriculture, rural development programs, and the Food and Drug Administration. As reported, it would set specific dollar amounts for dozens of USDA offices and agencies, including the Office of the Secretary, the Office of the Chief Economist, the Office of Inspector General, the Agricultural Research Service, the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Funding within these accounts is further earmarked for particular activities, such as tribal public health initiatives, cybersecurity, agricultural research facilities, extension programs for land-grant and minority-serving institutions, and animal and plant disease control efforts.
The bill affects USDA operations broadly, as well as land-grant universities, tribal colleges, state agricultural agencies, agricultural researchers, and farmers who rely on federal disease- and pest-control programs. It also has implications for FDA and rural development programs covered elsewhere in the same overall bill, though the text provided focuses mainly on agricultural accounts.
The bill was introduced and reported by the Senate Appropriations Committee on June 22, 2023, and placed on the Senate calendar, but it did not proceed further as a standalone measure. According to the Congressional Research Service, its provisions were ultimately incorporated into other legislation that was enacted, meaning the funding decisions reflected in this bill were addressed through a different, later-passed appropriations vehicle rather than through S. 2131 itself.
