This legislation aims to enhance the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) by broadening its coverage. Specifically, it amends the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 to eliminate previous exclusions for certain agricultural products. The bill makes additional NAP coverage available for crops and grasses used for grazing , which were previously excluded from certain provisions of the program. By striking specific exclusionary language in the existing law, the measure ensures that producers of these grazing crops can access disaster assistance. The Secretary of Agriculture is mandated to promulgate regulations to implement these changes within 90 days of the Act's enactment, ensuring timely execution of the expanded program.
