What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Farm Credit Adjustment Act," seeks to change how the Farm Credit Administration handles institution examinations. It provides the Farm Credit Administration with the option to extend the time between mandatory examinations for certain institutions. Specifically, it allows for a cycle of not more than 24 months for institutions deemed to be low-risk. This change would modify the existing Farm Credit Act of 1971. The provisions are set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
