Bill overview
The Disaster Relief for Farmworkers Act of 2024 aims to provide emergency assistance to farmworkers impacted by various disasters, including weather events, health crises, and other unforeseen circumstances. It amends the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 to create a system for eligible farmworker organizations to receive grants and distribute funds directly to farmworkers affected by covered disasters. The act also establishes definitions for key terms and outlines how funds can be used to address immediate needs, build organizational capacity, and promote resilience within farmworker communities.
