S 1628 United States Senate · 118th Congress

America Grows Act of 2023

This bill provides annual funding increases for four USDA research agencies (Agricultural Research Service, Economic Research Service, National Agricultural Statistics Service, and National Institute of Food and Agriculture) by 5% above inflation each year, adjusted using the Consumer Price Index. It specifically exempts these funding amounts from automatic budget cuts (sequestration) under federal law. The funding applies to fiscal years 2024 through 2034 and beyond, with amounts remaining available for obligation through the end of each fiscal year. The bill does not create new programs but ensures stable, inflation-adjusted funding for existing agricultural research and data collection activities.
