Bill Summary

This bill amends the "Agriculture Retention and Development Act" by creating alternate members on County Agriculture Development Boards (CADB) who are able to vote in the absence or disqualification of a voting member. This bill would require each CADB to have two alternate members, one of whom represents the general public and one of whom is actively engaged in farming. These alternate members would each serve for a term of four years and may vote in place of an appointed voting member of their respective appointment background, should a voting member be absent or disqualified. The alternate voting member may participate in discussions of the proceedings when not voting. The alternate member with a farming background would be appointed in the same manner as the four members actively engaged in farming, and the alternate member representing the general public would be appointed in the same manner as the three members representing the general public.

AI Summary

This bill amends the "Agriculture Retention and Development Act" to create alternate voting members on County Agriculture Development Boards (CADBs). Each CADB will now have two alternate members - one representing the general public and one actively engaged in farming. These alternate members can vote in the absence or disqualification of a regular voting member, with the farming alternate only able to vote in place of a farming member and the public alternate only able to vote in place of a public member. The alternate members serve four-year terms and can participate in discussions, but a vote will not be delayed to allow a regular voting member to vote instead of an alternate.
