The proposed bill establishes a new chapter in Title 43 RCW aimed at protecting agriculture in Washington State. It emphasizes the state's commitment to promoting a stable food supply and a healthy agricultural economy while ensuring that regulations do not hinder farmers' ability to produce and sell their products. The bill outlines responsibilities for state agencies to improve coordination and planning related to agriculture, including promoting public health, aiding farmers in land use, and preserving agricultural heritage. It mandates a systematic approach to decision-making that considers economic impacts, alternatives, and long-term agricultural productivity.

Additionally, the bill introduces a mechanism for assessing the fiscal impact of proposed legislation on agricultural entities, requiring fiscal notes to be prepared upon request from legislators. It also mandates that agencies conduct assessments for significant actions affecting agriculture, aiming to minimize economic harm to agricultural producers and communities. The bill is officially titled the Food Economics, Availability, and Security Over Time (FEAST) Act, and it includes provisions for public notification and transparency regarding significant agency actions related to agriculture.
