Bill overview
This bill changes a law related to research funding for specialty crops. Currently, organizations receiving grants must match a portion of the funding themselves. This bill would allow the Secretary of Agriculture to waive this matching funds requirement for new grants, making it easier for smaller organizations and research institutions to participate in this important research program. The goal is to increase the amount of research conducted on specialty crops.
