Crop Insurance: Protecting Wine Grapes Against Wildfire Smoke Damage.
This law mandates the creation of a new crop insurance program specifically for wine grape producers.

A new policy must be researched and made available within 18 months, particularly benefiting wine regions like California, Oregon, and Washington.
Key points
New insurance coverage: Wine grape growers will gain the option to insure their crops against losses resulting from wildfire smoke exposure.
Policy development timeline: The government must develop and make this specialized insurance policy available within 18 months.
Post-harvest testing: The law requires evaluating the feasibility of allowing claims based on testing conducted after harvest if smoke damage was not detectable earlier.
