AI Summary
This bill, titled "Increasing the number of authorized positions for the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection for regional farmer support and making an appropriation," proposes to add two full-time equivalent (FTE) positions to the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). These new positions are specifically designated for regional farmer support, meaning they will provide assistance and resources to farmers in different geographic areas. To fund these additional positions, the bill also increases the department's appropriation, which is the amount of money allocated to it, by $150,400 for the 2025-26 fiscal year and by $200,500 for the 2026-27 fiscal year, covering the 2025-27 fiscal biennium. GPR stands for General Purpose Revenue, indicating that the funding for these positions will come from the state's general fund.
