Complete·4/17/26

Kentucky SB214 amends the Department of Agriculture's authority to accept federal and nonfederal funds, grants, gifts, donations, or devises.

Kentucky SB214 modifies the Kentucky Revised Statutes to expand the Department of Agriculture's authority. The bill allows the department to accept federal aid, nonfederal funds, grants, gifts, donations, or devises. It also authorizes the department to apply for privately funded grants, which were previously inaccessible. The Commissioner of Agriculture is empowered to enter into agreements with federal, state, or local agencies to manage these funds. The bill declares an emergency, taking effect upon passage and approval by the Governor.
