A resolution to urge the President of the United States and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to fully honor its commitments to Michigan Rural Energy for America (REAP) participating farmers and to reimburse projects built in good faith under REAP guidance.
This Senate resolution urges the President and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to honor their financial commitments to Michigan farmers who participated in the Rural Energy for America Program. It calls for the reimbursement of projects built in good faith under previous USDA guidance, specifically those involving solar energy that were left incomplete after funding was withdrawn. The bill requests that the administration reverse recent decisions to cancel grants and restore the obligated funds to support these agricultural projects. Additionally, it asks Michigan's congressional delegation to provide a legal basis for the USDA's refusal to execute financial agreements and to examine whether withholding these funds violates federal law.
