BILL NUMBER: S6330A

SPONSOR: HINCHEY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to requir-
ing the department of agriculture and markets to develop and maintain a
database of New York state farms and farm products

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To require the department to establish a database of New York state
farms and farm products

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one amends the agriculture and markets law in relation to devel-
oping and maintaining a publicly available searchable database of New
York state farms and farm products. This would be done by the department
of agriculture & markets, in cooperation with the department of economic
development and urban development corporation.

Section two states the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Agriculture is a $3.6 billion industry in New York State. With over
35,000 farms, New York is a leading producer of some of the nation's
best food and beverages. Despite the various products grown across the
state, there is currently no centralized way to access this information.

A database will connect consumers to producers of farm products while
strengthening the supply chain across New York. This will allow restau-
rants and other entities easy access to the array of products farms
across New York State have available. Purchasing directly from local
farmers will assist not only in strengthening our agricultural sector,
but also in bettering New York State's environment, vibrant communities
and small businesses, and strong local economies.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it
shall become a law.
