Bill overview

The Reimbursing Agricultural Producers for Immigration Damages Act (RAPID Act) aims to provide financial assistance to agricultural producers who have suffered losses due to the actions of undocumented immigrants. The bill establishes a program within the Department of Agriculture to reimburse producers for specific damages, such as livestock loss, crop damage, and fence destruction. The program prioritizes applications from counties with high levels of illegal immigration and will be funded by rescinding $300 million in COVID-19 relief funds. The program is set to expire on September 30, 2023.
