Protecting Agricultural Borrower Information Act
This bill protects farmers and ranchers who apply for or receive loans or payments through the Farm Service Agency (FSA) by restricting how their personal information is shared. It prohibits FSA employees from disclosing borrower details to certain government employees (like special government employees or staff detailed to FSA under specific rules), except for anonymized statistics or with the borrower's voluntary consent. Violations could result in fines up to $10,000 or imprisonment. The law directly affects agricultural borrowers by strengthening privacy safeguards around their financial data in FSA programs.
