This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding the citrus, fruit, and vegetable trust fund by adding a requirement for the department to post its annual accounting report on its website. Currently, the law mandates that the department provide a detailed accounting of all monies paid into and disbursed from the trust fund by November 1 each year and transmit this report to the citrus, fruit, and vegetable advisory council by December 1.

The new language would insert a provision stating that the department must also make this report accessible on its website, thereby enhancing transparency and public access to the financial information related to the trust fund. The existing statute remains unchanged except for this addition.
