An Act amending Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for mushroom farming; imposing duties on the Department of Agriculture; and establishing the Mushroom Farming and Composting Fund.
HB 2034 creates the Mushroom Farming and Composting Fund within Pennsylvania's Department of Agriculture to support mushroom farmers and composting businesses. The bill requires the Department to manage the fund, which will provide financial assistance for mushroom farming operations and composting initiatives. It directly affects mushroom growers and composting businesses by establishing a dedicated funding source for their industry. The key policy change is the creation of this new fund, replacing any existing mechanisms for supporting these specific agricultural activities.
