AI Summary
This bill, the Smoke Exposure Crop Insurance Act of 2023, requires the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) to conduct research and development on a policy to insure wine grapes (including those produced in California, Oregon, and Washington) against losses due to wildfire smoke exposure. Within 1 year of the bill's enactment, the FCIC must either carry out this research itself or enter into contracts with qualified persons to do so. Additionally, within 18 months of enactment, the FCIC must make this insurance policy available if the requirements of the Federal Crop Insurance Act are met. The bill also requires the FCIC to submit a report to Congress within 2 years of enactment, detailing the research results, the policies made available, and the feasibility of a product that allows producers to claim indemnities based on post-harvest, post-vinification testing that demonstrates smoke damage.
