Updates disaster and drought-era agricultural programs to expand who can receive emergency conservation and livestock disaster payments, clarify and increase certain livestock and honey bee payments, and allow some environmental review flexibility during drought emergencies. Requires new federal actions to improve the U.S. Drought Monitor data and mandates an interagency alignment between the Farm Service Agency and the Forest Service to coordinate drought response and provide consistent information to stakeholders.
