Bill overview
This bill, the 2020 WHIP+ Reauthorization Act, aims to expand the existing Wildfire and Hurricane Indemnity Program Plus (WHIP+) to provide financial assistance to farmers who experienced crop losses due to wildfires in 2020. Specifically, it allows for coverage of losses including smoke-tainted wine grapes, mirroring the program’s coverage for losses from 2018 and 2019. The bill reauthorizes and modifies existing funding to accommodate these new crop losses. It essentially extends the scope of WHIP+ to include a specific year of wildfire damage.
