The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6798, aims to amend existing bond authorizations related to climate resiliency projects. Specifically, it seeks to include provisions for the reimbursement of farmers who have suffered crop losses due to hailstorms and other climate change-related events. This legislative change is intended to provide financial support to farmers affected by such destructive occurrences, thereby helping them recover from the impacts of climate change.

The bill introduces new legal language that expands the scope of current bond funds to encompass these reimbursements, while no specific deletions from existing law are noted in the text provided. The overarching goal of the bill is to assist farmers in mitigating the financial repercussions of adverse weather events linked to climate change, thereby promoting agricultural resilience in the face of increasing environmental challenges.
