This bill establishes a uniform definition of 'rural area' across all Department of Agriculture rural development programs by amending the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act. It replaces multiple existing definitions with a single standard and expands the Secretary of Agriculture's authority to designate areas with persistent poverty, high concentrations of farmworker households, or significant infrastructure gaps as rural areas, even if located within urban boundaries. The bill also makes conforming amendments to the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 and the Housing Act of 1949 to use the new uniform definition.
