TO ESTABLISH THE STATE ACTION POULTRY FLOCK DEPOPULATION GRANT PROGRAM.

Senate Bill 582 establishes the State Action Poultry Flock Depopulation Grant Program within the Department of Finance and Administration. This program aims to provide financial assistance to eligible poultry growers across the state. Growers qualify for funds if their poultry flock was depopulated by the state, including any such events that occurred before the bill's effective date. The Department of Finance and Administration is tasked with creating rules for growers to submit documentation of their losses and for the distribution of these grant funds.
