The proposed bill would update current statutes by appropriating $500,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 specifically to the department of education. This funding is intended to support grants for school districts and charter schools to establish community gardens, thereby enhancing educational and community engagement through agricultural initiatives.

The bill introduces new language that specifies the allocation of these funds and the purpose behind them, which is to promote the development of community gardens in educational settings. There are no deletions or changes to existing statutes outside of this new appropriation, meaning the current law remains intact except for the addition of this funding provision.
