Bill Summary
Amend KRS 246.055 to authorize the Department of Agriculture to accept nonfederal funds and grants from any source, public or private, that benefit the Department's programs; EMERGENCY.
AI Summary
This bill allows the Kentucky Department of Agriculture to accept nonfederal funds and grants from any public or private source, in addition to existing federal aid, gifts, donations, or devises, to benefit its programs. The bill also clarifies the department's authority to enter into agreements with federal, state, or local public agencies to manage these funds and commodities. An emergency is declared because the department's current authority prevents it from applying for valuable privately funded grants that could significantly benefit agriculture in Kentucky, making immediate enactment of this bill necessary.
