H.R. 4342 · 109th Congress
To enhance the effectiveness of rural business financing programs.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 109th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
No cosponsors.
Amends the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to provide rural business loan guarantees and grants to entities in urbanized areas if rural businesses would benefit from use of the financing.
