Florida Freeze Disaster Assistance Act of 2026
To appropriate sums for the Secretary of Agriculture to provide block grants to States for losses of revenue as a consequence of certain freezes or cold weather conditions.
This bill, HB9094, proposes to provide financial assistance to states that have suffered losses due to freezes or cold weather conditions. The money would come from the Secretary of Agriculture and be given out as block grants. These grants would help cover the losses that farmers and businesses have experienced because of the cold weather.
The bill would affect states that have been hit hard by freezing temperatures, potentially including Florida. Farmers, businesses, and other affected parties in these states could receive financial support to help them recover from their losses. The support is aimed at ensuring that affected individuals and businesses can get back on their feet more quickly.
HB9094 was introduced on June 2, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on the Budget for further consideration. This means the bill is now being reviewed by relevant committees to determine how it will move forward in the legislative process.
