The bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2025 to support county agricultural inspectors through grants to counties. The commissioner of agriculture is authorized to use up to three percent of this appropriation for administrative purposes. To qualify for these grants, counties must employ a county agricultural inspector or a designated employee who meets specific training and coordination requirements with the commissioner, including attending training, reviewing laws, compiling annual reports, conducting meetings for local weed inspectors, and assisting with agricultural programs as needed.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that county agricultural inspectors and designated employees must submit an annual application, using a form approved by the commissioner, to be eligible for funding. The commissioner is required to distribute the available grant money equally among the eligible counties. This legislation aims to enhance the effectiveness of county agricultural inspection services and ensure compliance with agricultural laws and programs.
