Bill > S2396

This bill amends the Federal Crop Insurance Act to modify the composition of the Board of Directors for the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC). Specifically, the bill requires that in addition to the current requirement of having at least one specialty crop producer on the board, starting May 1, 2027, the board must also include at least one producer who actively engages in both livestock production and crop production of agricultural commodities. A specialty crop producer is typically a farmer who grows fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, nursery crops, or other non-commodity crops. The bill aims to ensure more diverse representation on the FCIC board by including a board member with experience in both livestock and crop agriculture, potentially bringing a more comprehensive perspective to the board's decision-making processes.
