The bill, titled "AN ACT CONCERNING REPORTING OF BIOMASS FERTILIZERS DISTRIBUTED TO FARMERS IN EASTERN CONNECTICUT," mandates that the Department of Agriculture must publish detailed records regarding the distribution of solid amendment fertilizers to farmers in Eastern Connecticut. This information must be made available on the agency's website by October 1, 2025, and should include specifics such as the timing, locations, and volumes of these distributions. The Department of Agriculture is required to collaborate with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection in fulfilling this obligation.
The bill introduces new legal language that establishes this reporting requirement as a new section of law, effective upon passage. It does not delete any existing legal language but adds a clear directive for transparency in the distribution of biomass fertilizers, aiming to enhance accountability and provide farmers and the public with access to relevant agricultural data.
