The cap is adjusted for inflation each year from the 2025 crop year
What the document says“For the 2025 crop year and each crop year thereafter, the Secretary shall annually adjust the amounts described in subsections (b) and (c) for inflation based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor.”
The section adds a new subsection (i) to section 1001 of the Food Security Act of 1985 requiring the Secretary to adjust the amounts in subsections (b) and (c) for inflation each crop year, starting with the 2025 crop year, based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor.
What the document actually says“For the 2025 crop year and each crop year thereafter, the Secretary shall annually adjust the amounts described in subsections (b) and (c) for inflation based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor.”
Each crop year the Secretary must raise the caps. The rise follows a price index kept by the labor agency.
The index tracks what city shoppers pay. The first change comes in the 2025 crop year. It then happens every year.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
