HR 3448 United States House · 119th Congress

LIP Enhancement Act of 2025

This bill amends the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) to provide additional payments for losses of unborn livestock due to covered conditions (like natural disasters) occurring on or after January 1, 2025. It directly affects livestock producers who experience death losses of gestating animals (e.g., pregnant cows, sows) beyond normal mortality rates. Key provisions include setting a payment rate capped at 85% of the lowest weight class payment rate, with the exact payment amount calculated based on the livestock species and multiplied by specific factors (e.g., 12x for certain types like calves). The bill expands existing LIP coverage to include unborn animals, using plain-language terms like "gestating" instead of legal jargon.
