This bill proposes a one-time appropriation of $3,000,000 from the state general fund to the agriculture commissioner for the establishment of a county fair resiliency grant program. The funds are designated for grants to county agriculture fair associations, specifically aimed at supporting the planning, design, and construction of infrastructure projects. The program will be active for the biennium starting July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027.

Under this program, the agriculture commissioner is restricted from awarding more than $100,000 to any single county agriculture fair association. This funding initiative is intended to enhance the resilience and sustainability of county fairs across the state, ensuring they can continue to serve their communities effectively.
