USDA Spending Accountability Act of 2023

S 2244, the USDA Spending Accountability Act of 2023, requires Congress to specifically authorize any use of funds by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) under its general powers. The bill mandates that unobligated CCC funds designated for operations not specifically authorized by Congress must be transferred to the Treasury and permanently rescinded. This procedural change directly affects the CCC's ability to manage its budget, ensuring only congressionally approved activities can use its funds. It does not create new programs or alter policy for farmers or consumers.
