Farm Bill Legislative Side-By-Side

The document provides a legislative side-by-side analysis of the Advanced Biofuel Payment Program, highlighting that the House version proposes extending mandatory and discretionary funding through fiscal year 2029, while other program requirements remain unchanged from current law.

• The Advanced Biofuel Payment Program provides payments to producers of advanced biofuels, which are defined as biofuels derived from non-food-based renewable biomass feedstocks, excluding corn. These biofuels are intended to replace fossil fuels and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent.
• Under the 2018 Farm Bill, the program was authorized for mandatory annual funding of $7 million and discretionary annual funding of $20 million through fiscal year 2023. While mandatory funding continued through fiscal year 2024, no discretionary funding was provided by Congress for fiscal years 2023 or 2024.
• The House Agriculture Committee's May 2024 amended text proposes extending both mandatory funding of $7 million and discretionary funding of $20 million per year through fiscal year 2029, whereas current law only specified these amounts through fiscal year 2023.
• The House version maintains existing restrictions on funding distribution, including a limit that prevents more than 5 percent of annual funds from going to facilities with a total refining capacity exceeding 150,000,000 gallons per year.
