The increase in spending is allowed under budget reconciliation instructions provided in S.Con.Res. 14. This amount does not include $10 billion of increases through the BBBA for child nutrition programs that are within the jurisdiction of the House Education and Labor Committee and the Senate Agriculture Committee. It also does not include funding in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58), such as $2.9 billion for rural broadband and agricultural watersheds, and other funding for forestry. In the BBBA, forestry programs would receive about $27 billion to support climate change and wildfire reduction objectives. Agricultural conservation programs also would receive about $27 billion. Rural development programs would receive about $18 billion, including for rural electricity transition to clean or renewable energy, biofuels infrastructure and programs, and rural drinking water programs. Economically distressed farm loan borrowers would receive debt relief, estimated to add $7 billion to an existing $6 billion of debt relief and assistance in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA; P.L. 117-2) that has been blocked by the courts because of limitations on race. Agricultural research programs would receive $2 billion, with half for research facilities at universities and the other half divided among an assortment of research and education grant programs.
