TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING REPORTS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

HB 1450 repeals multiple existing annual reporting requirements for Arkansas' Department of Agriculture. It eliminates mandated reports from the State Plant Board, farm-to-school program coordinator, Buffalo River Conservation Committee, and State Meat Inspection Program. The bill also removes a requirement for the Department to submit separate annual reports on agricultural promotion boards (like catfish, soybean, and rice boards). The only change is amending one section to require the Department to include information from all its administered entities in its annual report to the Governor. This bill streamlines reporting by removing redundant obligations.
