Revises provisions relating to agriculture. (BDR S-911)
AB 405 requires Nevada's State Department of Agriculture Director to establish a program supporting community gardens and urban farms in areas with high food insecurity (including designated food deserts). This program will help residents in underserved communities access fresh food by expanding local food production. The bill authorizes the Director to accept gifts, donations, grants, or other funding to support this initiative. It directly affects communities facing food access challenges and the state agency managing agricultural programs.

MINOR
The bill was finalized and formatted for official enactment, removing draft headers and committee references while retaining the core mandate for the Council on Food Security to study food insecurity and coordinate statewide efforts. The substantive policy requirements remain unchanged, including the deadline for the study and the specific topics the Council must evaluate.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it continues to direct the Council on Food Security to conduct a study during the 2025-2026 interim.
TECHNICAL
Removed draft metadata, including the 'Reprint 1' header, assembly member names, committee referral details, and explanatory notes, replacing them with the formal 'As Enrolled' language and official chapter formatting.
Replaced the Legislative Counsel's Digest text with the formal 'THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEVADA...' enactment clause to finalize the bill's legal status.
Adjusted line breaks and spacing in the text of Section 2 to conform to the standard formatting of enrolled legislation.
