Bill overview
This bill, the Rural Area Population Act, aims to standardize the definition of ‘rural area’ used in various agricultural and rural development programs administered by the Department of Agriculture. It modifies existing legislation to ensure a consistent understanding of what constitutes a rural area, primarily by replacing ‘urban’ with ‘urbanized’ in relevant definitions. This standardization is intended to improve the consistency and fairness of these programs across different rural communities.
