What’s in it
This bill creates a local farm produce program to assist schools and school districts purchasing fresh farm produce directly from farmers or distributors of fresh farm produce (Code chapter 190A). DALS may reimburse a school or school district for expenditures on such products to the extent moneys are available to support the program. The available moneys would be allocated during the school year on a matching basis, subject to a $5,000 cap. The bill also creates a local farm produce fund to support the program.
Read the full explanation
The bill appropriates to the fund moneys available to the state pursuant to the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. However, any unencumbered or unobligated moneys remaining on December 31, 2020, are transferred to the general fund and appropriated to the economic development authority to support small businesses. The bill takes effect upon enactment, and if approved by the governor after July 1, 2020, applies retroactively to July 1, 2020.
