Summary
The bill changes the Federal Crop Insurance Act so the Secretary of Agriculture must rely on the IBTrACS hurricane data set, or a backup set from land‑grant colleges, to decide if a county qualifies for indemnity payments under the Hurricane Insurance Protection‑Wind Index endorsement. It affects farmers with crop insurance who suffer hurricane‑related losses and aims to make payout decisions more accurate and transparent.
