AI Summary
This bill, the Disaster Relief for Farm Workers Act, amends the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 to provide emergency assistance to farm workers affected by covered disasters, such as adverse weather events, health crises, and other conditions that cause farm workers to lose income or be unable to work. The bill authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Under Secretary for Rural Development, to make grants to eligible farm worker organizations to provide emergency relief, build capacity and resiliency, support infrastructure, and deliver emergency services to farm workers, including migrant or seasonal farm workers, in response to covered disasters. The funds provided under this bill remain available until expended, and the Secretary is required to develop and execute a promotional plan for the distribution of the emergency relief grants.
