The bill amends the Louisiana Soybean and Grain Research and Promotion Board's composition and the organizations responsible for nominating its members. Specifically, it changes the name of the Louisiana Soybean Association to the Louisiana Cotton and Grain Association. The board will continue to consist of twelve producer members appointed by the governor, with eight being practical soybean producers and four being practical producers of wheat, corn, or grain sorghum.

The Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation, Inc. will nominate eight soybean producers, from which the governor will appoint five members. The newly named Louisiana Cotton and Grain Association will submit names of five soybean producers for three appointments, while the Louisiana Farm Bureau will also nominate three producers of wheat, corn, or grain sorghum for two appointments. The Cotton and Grain Association will similarly nominate three producers from the same category for two appointments. This structure aims to ensure equal representation among the organizations involved in the board's appointments.
