Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006

This law provided approximately $100 billion in federal funding for the 2006 fiscal year to support a wide range of agricultural, nutritional, and consumer protection programs. It funded the operations of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ensuring the continued inspection of meat and poultry, the regulation of drugs and medical devices, and the management of national conservation efforts.

For everyday citizens, the act sustained vital social safety nets by funding the Food Stamp Program (now SNAP), the WIC program for women and infants, and free or reduced-price school lunches. It also invested in rural infrastructure by providing loans and grants for rural housing, telecommunications, and water systems. Additionally, the law included provisions affecting the "Organic" food label and temporarily halted the use of federal funds for the inspection of horses destined for human consumption.
