Bill overview
This bill, the Protecting Fairs During Coronavirus Act, directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to create a grant program to help state and local fairs recover from the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will provide competitive grants to states, which can then use the funds to address cost issues and explore offering virtual agricultural education and entertainment. The goal is to support fairs and the agricultural communities they serve during this challenging time. The bill also authorizes $5 billion annually for this program.
