S. 4945 · 118th Congress
Rural Opportunities and Revitalization Act of 2024
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 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Rural Opportunities and Revitalization Act of 2024
This bill directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to carry out research, technical studies, demonstrations, and pilot programs related to the mission and programs of the Rural Business-Cooperative Service.
In carrying out these activities, USDA must promote long-term prosperity in rural areas by providing resources (e.g., capital and education) to help individuals living in rural areas start businesses, grow businesses, or find jobs.
In addition, USDA may permit demonstrations involving innovative methods of program delivery that do not meet USDA's standards, rules, regulations, or policies. USDA must determine, among other things, that permitting a demonstration is in the federal government's best interests.
