Summary
To amend the Federal Crop Insurance Act to require the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to carry out research and development regarding a policy to insure wine grapes against losses due to smoke exposure, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would require the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to research and develop a new insurance policy for wine grapes damaged by smoke exposure. Wine grapes are grapes grown specifically for wine production, and smoke exposure can harm their quality and value. The bill addresses a gap in current crop insurance, which does not fully cover smoke-related losses to vineyards. The bill is currently in the introduced stage, meaning it has been formally submitted to Congress but has not yet been assigned to a for review.
