Amends Section 196 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 to remove the exclusion that had denied additional Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage for crops and grasses used for grazing. Requires the Secretary of Agriculture to publish regulations implementing this change within 90 days of enactment.
Liberal emphasizes small-ranch relief and equity safeguards
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused statutory amendment that precisely removes an exclusion to extend additional NAP coverage to crops and grasses used for grazing and instructs the Secretary of Agriculture to promulgate implementing regulations within 90 days.

Liberal emphasizes small-ranch relief and equity safeguards
Likely supportive as a targeted expansion of disaster assistance to grazing operations, helping family ranchers and rural communities.
May press for equity safeguards so benefits reach small producers rather than large agribusinesses.
Generally favorable because it closes an apparent coverage gap and has a short regulatory timeline.
Wants clarity on costs, administrative implementation, and overlap with existing programs before full endorsement.
Mixed: supportive of rural assistance but cautious about expanding federal disaster aid and potential long-term spending.
Seeks tight eligibility rules and fiscal offsets to prevent moral hazard and abuse.
