TEMP Act Temperature Event Mitigation Policy Act
To amend the Federal Crop Insurance Act to direct the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to conduct research and development on frost or cold weather insurance, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB7464, aims to update the Federal Crop Insurance Act by directing the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to research and develop insurance options specifically for frost or cold weather events. This would help farmers better protect their crops against the financial losses caused by unexpected cold weather.
The bill would primarily affect farmers and agricultural businesses that rely on crop insurance. By providing more tailored insurance options, they could potentially reduce their financial risks and stabilize their operations. This could be particularly beneficial for farmers in regions prone to sudden cold snaps.
As of February 10, 2026, the bill has just been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture. This means it is in the early stages of the legislative process and will need to be reviewed, possibly amended, and voted on by the committee before it can move forward.
