Bill overview
The Farmer Protection Act aims to safeguard West Virginia farmers from potential discrimination related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. It prohibits financial institutions from denying or restricting services to farmers based on their greenhouse gas emissions, fertilizer use, or machinery choices, particularly when driven by ESG commitments. The bill also establishes a process for enforcement by the Attorney General and the Commissioner of Agriculture, ensuring farmers have recourse against unfair practices.
