Committee approves study to examine insurance coverage for small agricultural producers
Summary
SB 2317 passed committee with amendments; DAB and farming groups backed the study and DAB estimated preliminary study costs around $250,000 to examine crop, health and liability insurance issues for small producers.
The Senate committee voted to pass SB 2317, directing the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity to study insurance coverage options for small agricultural producers and report back to the legislature. DAB and several farm groups signaled support for the study’s intent.
Committee members asked about the study budget and DAB's Dean Matco estimated it could cost about "$250,000" given the scope, which could cover crop, health and liability insurance research and stakeholder outreach. The committee passed the bill with an amendment deferring the effective date to a placeholder and recorded a unanimous committee vote in favor.
