House lawmakers appear to have hit a snag over using money from the 2022 health, climate and tax law to help pay for the farm bill.
Members of both parties staked out positions on use of money appropriated in the 2022 law, with Democrats saying they would oppose an effort to repurpose the money and House Agriculture Chairman Glenn “GT” Thompson, R-Pa., saying opponents are “thinking pretty simplistic.”
Thompson declined to say Tuesday when he would bring a bill before the committee. He has in the past offered target dates even if he hasn’t been able to meet them. Congress passed a one-year extension, giving lawmakers until Sept. 30 to iron out differences or consider another extension.
