Pennsylvania HB2689 allocates up to $20 million for disaster recovery grants to fruit and vegetable growers affected by freeze events.

Pennsylvania HB2689 amends the Fiscal Code to provide up to $20 million in disaster recovery grants for fruit and vegetable growers who suffered losses exceeding 30% of expected 2026 production due to freeze events between April 1 and April 21, 2026. The grants cover losses for Pennsylvania-grown specialty crops, including pome and stone fruits, grapes, berries, and vegetables. Losses or costs already covered by federal funding, insurance, contracts, or other sources are not eligible for these grants.
