AI Summary
This bill appropriates $2,000,000 from the Local Food Infrastructure Grant Fund to the Illinois Department of Agriculture to support the Local Food Infrastructure Grant Program. The funding will be used to provide grants aimed at improving local food infrastructure, which likely involves supporting local food production, distribution, and processing systems. The legislation specifies that the full amount or a portion of the $2,000,000 may be used for this purpose, providing some flexibility in grant allocation. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, giving the Department of Agriculture time to prepare and implement the grant program.
