116-hr-7996 116 hr 7996 Rural Equal Aid Act Agriculture and Food 2020-08-11 2020-09-11 Referred to the Subcommittee on Commodity Exchanges, Energy, and Credit. House Rep. Axne, Cynthia [D-IA-3] IA D A000378 5 Rural Equal Aid Act This bill requires the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to pay the principal, interest, and any associated fees owed on loans made under certain rural development loan programs for a six-month period. USDA must also encourage the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and state bank regulators to not require lenders to increase their reserves on account of receiving such payments made by USDA. USDA must waive statutory limits on maximum loan maturities for certain loan durations where the lender provides a deferral and extends the maturity of such loans and, when necessary to provide more time because of difficulties during the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic, extend lender site visit requirements. 2023-01-11T13:45:28Z
