A bill for an act relating to and making appropriations involving state government entities associated with agriculture, natural resources, and environmental protection.
SF 2487 appropriates state funds to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, to support its administrative operations, regulatory programs, and specific initiatives. The bill allocates money from various sources, including the general fund and specialized funds, to areas such as horse and dog racing enforcement, motor fuel inspections, dairy regulation, and assistance for farmers with disabilities. It also establishes cost-sharing agreements with Iowa State University of Science and Technology to support programs like the local food and farm initiative and the midwest grape and wine industry institute. Additionally, the legislation designates certain funds to remain available for expenditure in the following fiscal year if not fully spent, rather than reverting to the general fund.
