SAP Act of 2025
HR 289, the SAP Act of 2025, amends an existing agricultural program to require the Secretary to consult with maple industry stakeholders before issuing grant requests. Starting at least one year after the bill's enactment, the Secretary must seek input from maple producers on research priorities six months prior to each grant application cycle and consider this input when awarding grants. The bill also updates a program deadline from 2023 to 2030. This change directly affects maple producers by giving them a formal role in shaping grant funding decisions under the program.
