Increasing Insurance Access for Specialty Crops Act

The Increasing Insurance Access for Specialty Crops Act would amend the Federal Crop Insurance Act to improve access to federal crop insurance for specialty crop producers by establishing a Specialty Crop Advisory Committee to advise on insurance policy development and requiring consultation with the Committee in annual reviews of new and specialty crops. It would also create a Specialty Crops Coordinator within the Corporation to serve as a liaison with specialty crop producers and the Advisory Committee, focusing on improving and expanding insurance programs for these crops. The bill affects specialty crop producers, the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, and related USDA agencies by mandating new advisory structures and coordination roles to better address the unique risks and needs of specialty crop farming.
