This bill proposes the transfer of the Division of Food and Nutrition from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of Human Services, ensuring that all references to the Division in existing laws and regulations will now refer to the Department of Human Services. The transfer will adhere to the provisions of the State Agency Transfer Act, which governs the standard procedures for such transitions. Additionally, the bill appropriates a total of $128.241 million from constitutionally dedicated revenues to the State Agriculture Development Committee (SADC) for farmland preservation initiatives.

Of the appropriated funds, $115.091 million is designated for the acquisition of development easements and fee simple titles to farmland, as well as grants to counties, municipalities, and qualifying nonprofit organizations for farmland preservation projects. The bill also allocates funds for administrative costs related to the SADC's operations, including salaries and legal representation for enforcing development easements. The appropriations are intended to support various farmland preservation efforts and are subject to the provisions of several existing laws related to agricultural retention and development. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
