What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection to create, in consultation with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the

Department of Military Affairs, and the federal Department of Agriculture, a

program that will integrate veterans into the field of agriculture and support

veterans currently working in agriculture. The bill provides that immediate family

members of a veteran who died in service, who is missing in action, or who died as

a result of a service-connected disability are eligible to participate in the program.

The bill also requires DVA, in consultation with DATCP, to create a logotype to

identify agricultural products produced by farmers who are certified by DVA as being

veterans or who are certified as being immediate family members of veterans who

died during service, are missing in action, or died as a result of a service-connected

disability.
