Assembly Bill 1213 establishes a Dairy Agriculture Resilience Investment Now grant pilot program, which mandates the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) to provide financial grants to dairy producers operating with fewer than 1,000 milking cows. The purpose of these grants is to support projects that enhance the operational efficiency and resilience of these smaller dairy farms. Additionally, the bill grants DATCP the authority to create rules for the administration of this program.

The bill includes the creation of new statutory sections, specifically 20.115 (4) (ds) and 93.54, which outline the framework for the grant program and the associated funding. The new section 20.115 (4) (ds) specifies the annual appropriations for the program, while section 93.54 details the program's structure and the department's responsibilities in administering the grants.
