SB 233 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to agriculture. (BDR S-704)

SB 233 creates a Nevada-grown food and farm product certification program requiring vendors to sell at least 51% Nevada-produced items to qualify. It also establishes a State Department of Agriculture Task Force on Farm Labor to study workforce development and visa programs, with a requirement to submit a report to the 2027 Legislature. The bill appropriates $800,000 for the Home Feeds Nevada Agriculture Food Purchase Program. This directly affects Nevada farmers, food vendors, and agricultural businesses by creating new certification standards and labor workforce studies.
