HB 2322 requires Tennessee's commissioner of agriculture to annually report all fees, fines, and proceeds from selling seized properties under the Tennessee Apiary Act of 1995 to the chairs of the agriculture committees in both the state Senate and House. This bill directly affects the commissioner and the legislative committees overseeing agriculture. The key provision mandates transparent annual reporting of enforcement revenue collected through beekeeping-related seizures, rather than changing the Apiary Act's substance. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on financial reporting requirements for existing enforcement actions.
