Sponsored By: Representative Nunn, Zachary [R-IA-3]

In Committee

Summary

Allows restoration above pre-disaster conditions when it benefits long-term watershed health. The Protecting Farmers from Natural Disasters Act of 2025 would add a new “Level of Restoration” subsection to Section 403 of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978. It gives the Secretary authority to permit restoration that exceeds pre-disaster conditions when that restoration is in the best interest of long-term watershed protection. The bill also redesignates the existing subsection (b) as subsection (c) and makes no other program or funding changes.
