Summary of Bill HR 2261

Bill 118 hr 2261, also known as the "US Department of Agriculture Funding Limitation Act of 2024," aims to place restrictions on the availability of funds for the Agricultural Marketing Service and the Food Safety and Inspection Service within the US Department of Agriculture for the fiscal year 2024.
