AI Summary
This bill appropriates $300,000 from the General Fund for each of two fiscal years (FY2025-26 and FY2026-27) to the Nebraska Department of Agriculture. Specifically, the funds are designated for the Nebraska AgrAbility program, which aims to purchase assistive technology and equipment for farmers and ranchers. The assistive technology and equipment must be for purposes that are not already funded by the United States Department of Agriculture. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means the act will take effect immediately upon being passed and approved, allowing for rapid implementation of the funding allocation to support agricultural workers with technological assistance.
