    LAME DUCK As we approach the end of 2024, Congress has a growing list of issues to address during the lame duck session. Key items include funding the government for the remainder of FY 2025 and passing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). In this post, we’ll focus on other critical issues that aren't getting enough attention. After returning from summer recess in September, Congress didn’t accomplish much. The priority was to fund the government before the fiscal year ended on September 30, 2024. After a failed attempt on September 18, Congress passed the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (H.R. 9747) on September 25. President Biden signed it on September 26, avoiding a government shutdown and extending programs like the National Flood Insurance Program and cybersecurity measures. The federal fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30, and each year, Congress must pass twelve funding bills. For FY 2024, the House passed five, and the Senate passed none, requiring a continuing resolution (CR). When Congress returns the week of November 11, they’ll work to pass all twelve bills before the CR expires on December 20. If they can’t, they’ll likely bundle them into one or more “omnibus” or “mini-bus” packages. The lame duck session — the period between Election Day and the start of a new Congress — has become standard. Since 1994, only one Congress (1996) hasn’t held a lame duck session. Recent sessions have averaged over 50 days, with many wrapping up hours before the next Congress begins. In light of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Congress will likely pass emergency aid for affected communities. They’ll also need to address the Farm Bill, which was temporarily extended in 2023. If not reauthorized, it will likely be extended again into 2025. Other possible topics for the lame duck session include energy permitting reform, AI regulations, online safety for kids, data privacy, drug pricing, telehealth policies, and rail safety. While Congress could tackle some of these, it's just as likely they’ll be pushed into the next Congress in 2025, when tax reform will be a major focus due to expiring provisions from the 2017 tax overhaul. There’s no shortage of issues for Congress to address, but time is limited. The results of the November 5 elections will heavily influence what gets prioritized. Additionally, with 52 Representatives and ten Senators retiring, the lame duck session may be impacted by transitions, as departing members and staff prepare for life after Congress. What Congress will actually accomplish during this period remains uncertain, but the countdown to the new Congress on January 3 has already begun. Want to stay informed on congressional developments?

    In a 1787 letter to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson wrote that “[a]griculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals and happiness.” Agriculture, perhaps more so than any other vocation or enterprise, is indelibly American. Defined as the cultivation of plants, animals and other life forms for food, medicine and other products necessary for both sustaining and enhancing our lives, agriculture will only continue to play a large role in the modern American economy. The U.S. currently boasts what is undoubtedly the safest, highest quality and most innovative food system in the world. Meanwhile, global demand for agricultural and forest products is expected to increase substantially in the coming decades. Policymakers should seek solutions that remove barriers for production, trade and consumption, thereby allowing the modern agriculture system to flourish and meet this growing demand. Most would probably be surprised to learn that 97 percent of U.S. farms are family-owned and run by small farmers and ranchers. Great care should be taken to avoid unnecessary rules and bureaucratic hurdles for producers competing in our global agriculture environment. As Senator Barry Goldwater once said: “[farmers] have a more intimate knowledge than most of us of the consequences of unlimited government power, and so, it would seem, a greater interest than most in returning agriculture to freedom and economic sanity. EPIC Policy Group is dedicated to advancing the interests of the agriculture industry by providing comprehensive representation and advocacy at the local, state, and federal levels. Our team works tirelessly to ensure that agricultural producers have a voice in legislative and regulatory matters, helping to remove barriers to production, trade, and consumption. We engage with policymakers to advocate for solutions that support the growth and sustainability of agriculture, aiming to maintain the U.S.'s position as a leader in the global food system. By focusing on the unique needs of family-owned farms and small ranchers, EPIC Policy Group empowers the agriculture industry to thrive in a competitive global market.

    Maintaining a healthy economy and fostering economic growth is one of the most important priorities for hardworking Americans. The cost of everyday life is increasing, and people need to make sure that their job opportunities and paychecks keep up. Policymakers must create a plan of action that focuses on policies that increase economic opportunity, promote freedom of association, and lower barriers to entry for new businesses. Prioritizing the preferences of individuals by making union membership and contributions voluntary is an important reform that affects all businesses. Policies on organized labor should emphasize transparency and protect an individual’s choice regarding union involvement. No person should be forced to be a member of a union as a condition of employment or devote part of their paycheck towards political causes with which they disagree. State occupational licensing boards should ensure licensure requirements for employment serve a valid public health and safety need, and that they provide individuals the most opportunity to succeed and contribute to the economy. Occupational licensing increases unemployment by about one percent, raises prices by about 15 percent, and offers no incremental consumer protection over a competitive market. Eliminating or reducing unnecessary occupational licenses gives individuals the freedom to pursue their desired career goals, free from arbitrary barriers to entry that favor incumbent firms in a particular industry. Finally, policies on wages ensure individuals are free to make their own decisions and ensure that workers are not priced out of the labor force via government fiat. Setting price controls generally damages the economy by restricting decisions both businesses and individuals are able to make, and setting a price floor on wages is no exception. Maximizing the freedom of businesses and employees to negotiate their own wages is an important factor in helping both parties come to an agreement and thrive. EPIC Policy Group is here to be the government affairs firm for your business and industry. With our expertise and commitment, we can help navigate the complexities of government regulations and advocate for policies that support economic growth and individual freedoms. Partner with us to ensure your business thrives in an environment that values opportunity and innovation.
