If this bill were to become law, it would update the current statute regarding the Citrus, Fruit and Vegetable Trust Fund by requiring the Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA) to post a detailed report of all monies paid into and disbursed from the Fund on its website. Currently, the law mandates that the AZDA must provide a detailed accounting of these funds by November 1 each year and transmit the report to the Citrus, Fruit and Vegetable Advisory Council by December 1, but it does not require public posting of this information.

The specific changes include the insertion of language that mandates the AZDA to post the report on its website, enhancing transparency and accessibility of financial information related to the Fund. This addition aims to ensure that stakeholders and the public can easily access the financial details of the Fund's operations, thereby promoting accountability within the agricultural programs supported by the Fund.
