Summary

Florida Freeze Disaster Assistance Act of 2026

This bill provides $3.5 billion in emergency funding for the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide block grants to certain states for losses of revenue, quality, or production of crops (including crops prevented from planting), trees, bushes, and vines as a consequence of a freeze or cold weather conditions.

The bill specifies that the funding may only be made available for losses occurring in counties that received a disaster designation for freeze and related cold weather conditions issued by USDA on March 4, 2026. (This includes certain counties in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.)

The bill requires the assistance provided by the bill to include compensation to producers for losses of multi-year crops.

The funds provided by this bill must be made available upon the request of a state department of agriculture or other appropriate state agency.
