This part sets up a trial insurance plan for poultry growers. It covers the higher utility bills that extreme weather brings. The plan must run in enough counties to test it well. A policy must be approved within two years.

What the document says
“the Corporation shall establish a pilot program under which contract poultry growers, including growers of broilers and laying hens, may elect to receive index-based insurance from extreme weather-related risk resulting in increased utility costs”
The section adds a new subsection (j) to section 523 of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1523) requiring the Corporation, notwithstanding subsection (a)(2), to set up a pilot program under which contract poultry growers, including growers of broilers and laying hens, may choose index-based insurance against extreme weather-related risk that drives up utility costs, including the costs of natural gas, propane, electricity, water and other appropriate costs as the Corporation determines.
What the document actually says
“the Corporation shall establish a pilot program under which contract poultry growers, including growers of broilers and laying hens, may elect to receive index-based insurance from extreme weather-related risk resulting in increased utility costs”
That sentence, in plain words
A trial insurance plan must be set up for poultry growers. It covers growers of meat birds and egg birds. It pays out when harsh weather drives up utility bills.
What this is about
Index-based means the payout follows a measure, not a claim. The costs named include gas, propane, power and water. Growers choose whether to take it.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

What the document says
“The pilot program established under paragraph (1) shall be conducted in a sufficient number of counties to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the feasibility, effectiveness, and demand among producers in the top poultry producing States, as determined by the Corporation.”
The section requires the Corporation to engage with poultry industry stakeholders in setting up the pilot program, and to run it in enough counties to allow a full assessment of how workable it is, how well it works, and how much demand there is among producers in the top poultry producing States.
What the document actually says
“The pilot program established under paragraph (1) shall be conducted in a sufficient number of counties to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the feasibility, effectiveness, and demand among producers in the top poultry producing States, as determined by the Corporation.”
That sentence, in plain words
The trial must run in enough counties. That is so it can be judged properly. The Corporation picks how many.
What this is about
The counties come from the top poultry states. The test looks at whether the plan works and whether growers want it. The industry must be consulted first.

The document says “shall”Who acts: Board of Directors of the Federal Crop Insurance CorporationHow: statuteSec. 10507 in the PDF
What the document says
“the Board shall approve a policy or plan of insurance based on the pilot program under paragraph (1)--”
The section requires the Board, notwithstanding section 508(l) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act, to approve a policy or plan of insurance based on the pilot program in accordance with section 508(h) of that Act and no later than two years after enactment of the subsection.
What the document actually says
“the Board shall approve a policy or plan of insurance based on the pilot program under paragraph (1)--”
That sentence, in plain words
The Board must approve a policy built on the trial. The two tests that follow say how and by when.
What this is about
It must follow one rule in an older law. It must act within two years of this law. That older law is not indexed here.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
Each distinct thing the new subsection does: the pilot program itself and what it insures, the duty to engage poultry industry stakeholders, the requirement that it run in enough counties, and the two year deadline for approving a policy or plan.
Nothing in the section is left out. It adds one subsection and each of its four paragraphs is recorded.
The section works by adding a subsection to section 523 of the Federal Crop Insurance Act, which is not indexed here, so the approval rules in sections 508(h) and 508(l) it points to cannot be checked against anything on this site.
