Key Points

- The first bill provides funding for the 2027 budget year for farming, rural development, and the Food and Drug Administration. This money supports food safety, farm programs, and rural infrastructure.
- The other bills focus on government programs. One would check student aid applications for identity fraud, while another would take away funding from states that do not follow federal child care rules.
