Bill > S3836

This bill, the Crawfish Recovery Assistance from Weather Disasters And Droughts Act (CRAWDAD Act), aims to improve drought-related disaster assistance programs within the Department of Agriculture. The key provisions include: 1) Expanding the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program to cover losses of crawfish harvest due to adverse weather or drought, and requiring the Secretary of Agriculture to establish documentation standards for collecting data, production of crawfish, and defining loss conditions due to drought. 2) Amending the Livestock Forage Disaster Program to clarify that the term "livestock" includes both weaned and unweaned animals. The bill seeks to provide more comprehensive assistance to farmers and producers, particularly those involved in crawfish harvesting, who have been impacted by drought and other adverse weather conditions.
