The bill, titled "AN ACT CONCERNING REPORTING OF BIOMASS FERTILIZERS DISTRIBUTED TO FARMERS IN EASTERN CONNECTICUT," mandates that the Department of Agriculture publish detailed records regarding the distribution of solid amendment fertilizers to farmers in Eastern Connecticut. Specifically, the Department is required to post information on its website by October 1, 2025, which includes the timing, locations, and volumes of these distributions. The Department will collaborate with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to fulfill this requirement.
This legislation introduces a new section to current law, as indicated by the insertion of "Section 1 from passage New section." It aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the distribution of biomass fertilizers, thereby supporting farmers and ensuring proper oversight of agricultural practices in the region. The bill is co-sponsored by Senator Somers from the 18th District.
