“Amendment SA 3113, as modified, not agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 15 - 81. Record Vote Number: 477.”

what this changes

This amendment attempted to reduce the amount of money spent on several agricultural, rural development, and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) programs. It was rejected by the Senate, so the funding levels in the main bill were not lowered.

WHY IT MATTERS

This amendment represented a push to decrease federal spending on rural infrastructure, food safety, and agricultural support; its failure means those programs are likely to maintain their proposed funding levels.

WHO IS AFFECTED

The proposed cuts would have most directly affected farmers, rural residents relying on development grants, and the agencies responsible for food and drug safety.
