TEMP Act
The TEMP Act (HR 6186) requires the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to research and develop index-based insurance for crops affected by frost or cold weather events. It specifically directs research on protecting crops like tomatoes, peppers, citrus, and berries against production or revenue losses from such weather, evaluating risk management tools for low-frequency events. The Corporation must report findings and recommendations to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment. This research aims to create nationally available insurance options but does not immediately implement new coverage.
