§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment increases the maximum amount the USDA can guarantee for individual loans to companies building biorefineries or manufacturing bio-based products. By raising the limit from $250 million to $400 million, the government can help larger-scale renewable energy and chemical projects secure the private funding they need to get started.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
2POINT 01
Increases the loan cap by $150 million
Enables the USDA to support larger industrial projects that were previously too expensive for the program's limits.
POINT 02
Uses loan guarantees rather than direct spending
The government doesn't give the money away; it promises to pay the lender back if the business fails, which encourages private banks to lend more easily.
