MINOR
The bill was transitioned from the House to the Senate floor, resulting in a major shift of authority for appointing council members. The House version allowed the State Board of Agriculture to appoint members at their pleasure, while the Senate version mandates that members serve fixed five-year terms. Additionally, the Senate version removed the House's committee report from the Energy and Natural Resources committee, replacing it with a report from the Agriculture and Wildlife committee.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains focused on creating an advisory council for product classification, but the governance structure of the council changed significantly regarding member tenure.
REQUIREMENT
Member tenure changed from serving at the 'pleasure of the Board' to serving fixed five-year terms.
TIMELINE
The effective date was updated from November 1, 2026, to March 2, 2026, likely reflecting the Senate floor version date.
ENFORCEMENT
The committee report was switched from the Energy and Natural Resources committee to the Agriculture and Wildlife committee.
