Specifically, the bill adds farm-raised fish to the LIP definition of livestock, expanding LIP indemnity payments to farm-raised fish producers due to (1) an attack by an animal reintroduced into the wild by the federal government or protected by federal law (e.g., avian predators) or (2) disease. Under current law, LIP also provides indemnity payments to eligible livestock producers due to adverse weather.
