Rep. Barry Moore supports continuing resolution to deliver relief for producers and disaster victims

Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Moore released the following statement after voting in favor of the American Relief Act of 2025, a Continuing Resolution (CR) that extends government funding through March 14 and provides much-needed assistance to help American producers and communities affected by recent natural disasters.

“I supported this CR because it is a lifeline for producers and disaster victims, providing immediate relief at a critical moment, but the process we went through to get here is a symptom of a broken system,” said Moore. “Thanks to President Trump, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy, we stopped a bloated, 1,500-page bill loaded with woke, weaponized and wasteful spending and exchanged it for a 118-page bill that prioritizes Americans in need. Moving forward, we must reject backroom deals and ensure a detailed process to fund the government that actually works for the American people.”

Key Takeaways:

• Funds the government at current discretionary spending levels through March 14, 2025.
• Provides $100 billion in supplemental emergency spending to aid states affected by natural disasters.
• Provides $10 billion in economic assistance to farmers dealing with crop loss, government overregulation, and market forces outside of their control.
• Extends current farm bill programs through September 30, 2025.
• Extends the National Flood Insurance Program through March 14, 2025.
• Extends expiring health care programs through March 31, 2025, fully offset by a reduction in the Medicare Improvement Fund. Includes the following programs:
• Community Health Centers and other public health programs.
• Medicare add-on payments for ambulances, certain low-volume and Medicare-dependent hospitals, and rural providers.
• Medicare telehealth flexibilities.
• Delay of scheduled Obamacare cuts to Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospitals (DSH).
• DEA scheduling authority for fentanyl-related substances.
