Block Grant Assistance Act of 2023
The Block Grant Assistance Act of 2023 amends the Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023 to allow the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide agricultural disaster loss assistance to eligible states and territories through block grants. This change would give states and territories greater flexibility in using these funds for disaster recovery, rather than requiring specific project-based spending. The bill modifies existing disaster relief funding distribution without creating new money. It directly affects states and territories receiving agricultural disaster assistance under the amended law.
