MINOR

This bill updates the deadlines for the Community Gardens Task Force to complete its assessment and submit reports, extending the timeline by two years. It also reorganizes the list of required findings in the assessment report, changing the order of items but keeping the same information requirements.

TIMELINE

The deadline for the task force to complete its assessment was moved from January 1, 2027, to January 1, 2028, and the deadline for conducting additional assessments on publicly owned land was moved from January 1, 2031, to January 1, 2033.

REQUIREMENT

The specific order and labeling of the required findings in the assessment report were renumbered and relettered (e.g., changing from A, B, C to A, B, C, D, E), though the actual content of the required information remains the same.
