 Introduced  by M. of A. TAGUE -- read once and referred to the Committee
   on Agriculture
 
 AN ACT to amend the agriculture  and  markets  law,  the  tax  law,  the
   estates,  powers  and trusts law, the labor law, the public health law
   and the workers' compensation law, in relation to establishing the  NY
   food  insecurity,  farm  resiliency  and rural poverty initiative; and

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Short  title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 the "NY Food Insecurity, Farm Resiliency and Rural Poverty act".
   § 2. Legislative findings and intent. The  legislature  hereby  recog-
 nizes  that  the  agricultural  industry  is a significant, economically
 diverse and productive industry that is vital to the state of  New  York
 and  has  a substantial impact on the state's economy. That the COVID-19
 pandemic, and the subsequent mandates and  restrictions,  have  severely
 disrupted  the  agricultural markets to an extent seldom realized by the
 state. Consequently, the legislature hereby recognizes that a comprehen-
 sive support structure is necessary to ensure the viability of New  York
 farms and provide reliable market expectations for New York farmers.
  § 3. The agriculture and markets law is amended by adding a new article
 24-A to read as follows:
                               ARTICLE 24-A
         NY FOOD INSECURITY, FARM RESILIENCY AND RURAL POVERTY ACT
 SECTION 291. SHORT TITLE.
         291-A. LEGISLATIVE INTENT.
         291-B. DEFINITIONS.
         291-C. NY  FOOD  INSECURITY,  FARM  RESILIENCY AND RURAL POVERTY
                  OFFICE.
         291-D. PERMANENT AGRICULTURAL PURCHASING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
         291-E. COMMERCIAL MEAT AND DAIRY PROCESSING INCENTIVE PROGRAM.
         291-F. NEW YORK MEAT AND DAIRY PROCESSING STUDY COMMISSION.
         291-G. PERSONAL SERVICE COST ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
