This bill permanently funds several agencies that perform agriculture research.

The bill provides specified funding for the following agencies within the Department of Agriculture:

  • the Agricultural Research Service,
  • the Economic Research Service,
  • the National Agricultural Statistics Service, and
  • the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

The bill exempts the funding from sequestration, which is a process of automatic, usually across-the-board spending reductions under which budgetary resources are permanently cancelled to enforce specific budget policy goals.

It also exempts the budgetary effects of the funding from the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (PAYGO) and the Senate PAYGO rule.
