Protecting Agricultural Borrower Information Act

This bill would make it illegal for the Secretary of Agriculture or Farm Service Agency staff to share information that applicants or recipients provide to get farm loans or benefits with two groups: special government employees, and government employees temporarily detailed to the Farm Service Agency from other agencies. The ban would not apply to information shared in statistical or combined form that cannot identify the person. It also would not apply if the person agrees to the sharing, as long as agreeing is not required to get a benefit. Anyone who knowingly breaks this rule could be fined up to $10,000, jailed up to 1 year, or both.
