To amend the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to reauthorize and expand the Rural Innovation Stronger Economy grant program.
Summary
H.R. 7533 proposes to amend the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to reauthorize and expand the Rural Innovation Stronger Economy (RISE) grant program. This program provides federal funding to support economic development and innovation projects in rural communities across the United States.
If enacted, the bill would extend the authorization of this grant program and potentially increase its scope or funding. This could allow rural areas to access more resources for projects aimed at strengthening their local economies, supporting agricultural innovation, and creating economic opportunities in communities that often have fewer resources than urban areas.
The bill was introduced in the House on February 12, 2026, and is currently under committee consideration. It has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
