Bill > SB2350

This bill transfers certain responsibilities related to agricultural enterprises from the Aquaculture and Livestock Support Services Branch of the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity to the Agribusiness Development Corporation, a state entity focused on promoting agricultural businesses. Importantly, any regulatory functions of that branch will remain with the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity, meaning the Agribusiness Development Corporation will handle support and development aspects, not the oversight and rule-making. This transfer includes all associated personnel, appropriations, records, and property, and existing rules and contracts will remain in effect, with references updated to reflect the new responsible entity. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2050.
