Florida Freeze Disaster Assistance Act

This bill would provide $3.5 billion in emergency money to the Department of Agriculture to give block grants to certain states where crops, trees, bushes, and vines were damaged or lost because of freezing or cold weather. The money would only go to counties in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia that were officially designated as disaster areas by the Department of Agriculture on March 4, 2026, due to freeze-related conditions. The bill also requires that farmers who lost crops that take multiple years to grow, like certain trees or vines, receive compensation for those losses. The funds would be released when a state's agriculture department or another appropriate state agency requests them.
