Focus in the Fifth - U.S. Congressman Hal Rogers

The FY27 Agriculture appropriations bill sets aside $33,160,198 for the Distance Learning, Telemedicine, and Broadband Program, $40,000,000 for a broadband loan and grant pilot program, and $15,000,000 for the Community Connect Grant Program. It also directs support toward rural areas and persistent-poverty counties.

Concrete federal funding for rural broadband and telemedicine is present in Rogers's term, which supports part of the promise. This does not, by itself, show the small-business regulatory piece.

The FY27 Labor-HHS bill provides $475,765,000 for Rural Health, including Rural Hospital Flexibility Grants and telehealth services for rural veterans, and $45,550,000 for the Office for the Advancement of Telehealth. It also includes $100,000,000 for payments to eligible small hospitals to maintain health care providers.

This is direct, current federal investment in rural health care and telehealth during the lookback window. It is meaningful delivery on that slice of the commitment, but not the full promise.

The bill is reported by Mr. Rogers of Kentucky and includes $55,000,000 for rural domestic violence and child abuse enforcement assistance grants, $3,000,000 for a rural violent crime initiative, and funding for public safety officer benefits and other public safety programs.

This is concrete appropriations work on rural safety/public-safety programs in Rogers's jurisdiction. It supports the safety portion of the commitment, but still does not establish the small-business regulatory-relief piece.

The enacted law funds the Distance Learning, Telemedicine, and Broadband Program, including rural telemedicine grants and $50,750,000 for a broadband loan and grant pilot program.

This enacted FY2026 Agriculture appropriations law directly delivers federal rural broadband and rural telemedicine investment during Rogers's current House term.

The broadband pilot requires at least 90 percent of served households to be in rural areas without sufficient broadband access.

This strengthens the rural-broadband delivery finding because the enacted funding is targeted to underserved rural households, not merely general telecommunications spending.

The enacted law appropriates $392,907,000 for Rural Health and includes funds for Small Rural Hospital Improvement and Rural Emergency Hospital Technical Assistance.

This is enacted federal investment in rural health care during the relevant term, supporting a major component of the promise.

The law provides $45,550,000 for the Office for the Advancement of Telehealth and extends telehealth flexibilities through December 31, 2027.

The enacted law provides $3,000,000 for a rural violent crime initiative, including assistance for law enforcement.

This further supports delivery on the rural safety portion, though it does not address health care, broadband, or small-business regulatory relief by itself.

The House passed H.R. 736, Protect Small Businesses from Excessive Paperwork Act; Rogers (KY) voted Yea.

This is concrete support for reducing paperwork burden on small businesses. It is effort and House passage, but not proof of enacted regulatory relief.

This shows Rogers supported a broader deregulatory vehicle in the current term. It is relevant effort, but not specific enough to complete the small-business regulatory-relief component.

The FY2027 committee print includes $475,765,000 for Rural Health and telehealth-related rural hospital provisions.

This shows continued appropriations action for rural health care and telehealth in Rogers's current term, but it is committee-stage evidence rather than enacted law.

The FY2027 committee print includes $40,000,000 to continue a rural broadband loan and grant pilot program.

This is additional committee-stage support for rural broadband investment. It reinforces effort, but the enacted FY2026 law is stronger delivery evidence.

H.R. 736 passed the House 408-0, but this roll call alone does not show enactment into law.

The record supports effort on small-business paperwork relief, but it does not establish a completed federal regulatory-relief outcome comparable to the enacted investment provisions.
