MINOR
The bill was amended to clarify that the Department of Agriculture can only manage transferred lands after receiving approval from the Board of Agriculture. The effective date was drastically changed from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 3000, likely indicating a placeholder or error. The bill description was updated to reflect that the Board of Land and Natural Resources is no longer required to approve these transfers.

The bill's scope was modified to remove the requirement for Board of Land and Natural Resources approval, shifting the approval authority solely to the Board of Agriculture.
REQUIREMENT
Added a condition requiring the Board of Agriculture's approval before the Department of Agriculture can accept and manage the transferred lands.
TIMELINE
Changed the effective date of the Act from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 3000.
