What’s happening with USDA Express Loan Act of 2026?
The USDA Express Loan Act of 2026 is currently H.R. 7426, which has been in the Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities, Risk Management, and Credit since March 19, 2026. The subcommittee members must act next to move the bill forward, but most bills fail because they never receive a committee vote. This bill follows a similar path to H.R. 5877, which expired in the previous session after failing to advance past the same subcommittee.
