Bill overview
The JUST Act of 2025 aims to improve civil rights accountability and enforcement within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). It strengthens the USDA’s ability to address discriminatory actions and retaliation by requiring corrective action for employees found to have violated civil rights. The bill shifts the burden of proof in appeals to the USDA, establishes new offices for civil rights oversight, and provides equitable relief to farmers and ranchers who have faced challenges in complying with loan requirements. It also clarifies the role of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights and establishes an Ombudsperson to assist producers with civil rights issues.
