Increased TSP Access Act of 2025

The Increased TSP Access Act of 2025 expands access to conservation technical assistance by creating new certification pathways for third-party providers like agricultural retailers, cooperatives, and professional societies. It allows the Secretary of Agriculture to approve non-Federal entities (e.g., professional organizations or state agencies) to certify these providers, with specific criteria including expertise in conservation planning and experience working with farmers. The bill sets strict timelines for approval (40 business days) and requires approved entities to provide training and continuing education to certified providers. It also establishes fair payment rates for technical services and mandates public reporting on certification numbers, funding, and cost savings.
