A bill to amend the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 to extend terminal lakes assistance.

This bill extends the terminal lakes assistance program under the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 by updating its expiration date from 2023 to 2025. It directly affects farmers and communities relying on this program, which provides support for managing water resources in terminal lake systems. The key provision amends Section 2507(f) of the Act to extend the program’s authorization period by two years. The change was enacted on January 5, 2023, after passing both chambers of Congress in December 2022. This is a procedural adjustment to maintain existing assistance without altering program eligibility or funding levels.
