What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Temperature Event Mitigation Policy Act" or the "TEMP Act," proposes amendments to the Federal Crop Insurance Act. It directs the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to conduct research and development regarding index-based insurance policies. These policies would aim to protect various crops against losses caused by frost or cold weather events. The research involves evaluating risk management tools for low frequency and catastrophic weather events. Finally, the Corporation must submit a report on its findings and recommendations to relevant House and Senate committees within one year.
