Appropriates money for the expenses, grants, refunds, and distributions of the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Department of Conservation

HB 2006 is a budget bill that allocates $3,000,000 and other specific funds for Missouri's Department of Agriculture, Department of Natural Resources, and Department of Conservation for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. It provides funding for departmental operations, salaries, equipment, and specific programs like the Missouri Food and Beverage Task Force, using designated state funds such as General Revenue, Federal Funds, and specialized fee funds. The bill specifies exact amounts for each department and program, including one-time funding that cannot be carried over to future years. This bill directly affects state departments by enabling their daily operations and mandated programs through legally designated funding sources. It does not create new policies but ensures existing programs receive required financial support for the upcoming fiscal year.
