The bill appropriates $1,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of agriculture for grants aimed at supporting county agricultural inspectors. The commissioner is allowed to allocate up to three percent of the total appropriation each year 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 of agriculture, including attending training sessions, 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 considered for funding. The commissioner is responsible for distributing the available grant money equally among all eligible counties. This legislation aims to enhance the capacity of county agricultural inspectors, thereby improving agricultural oversight and management at the local level.
