What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a “transition to grazing pilot program” in the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to provide support and grants to farmers who are implementing livestock forage-based managed grazing systems and farmers and agribusinesses in the grazing-fed livestock business. Under the bill the department may award up to $40,000 to each grantee, and may disperse up to 75 percent of the grant in the first year following the department’s decision to grant the award and may disperse up to 12.5 percent of the award in each of the second and third years following the department’s decision to grant the award.
