AI Summary
This bill, the Bringing Aquaculture Indemnities To Speed Act (BAITS Act), amends the Agricultural Act of 2014 to include certain farm-raised fish losses under the livestock indemnity payment program. Specifically, it adds "farm-raised fish" to the definition of "livestock" for the purposes of the livestock indemnity payment program, allowing farmers to receive payments for losses of farm-raised fish due to adverse weather events or disease. However, the bill specifies that payments can only be made for losses of farm-raised fish due to adverse weather or disease, and not for other reasons.
