Summary
The bill lets the California Department of Education advance payments for contracts with the Department of Food and Agriculture to create or improve research farms at public colleges designated as Agricultural Experiment Stations or Research Institutes. Up to $15 million of voter‑approved bond funds can be granted, with a maximum of $1 million per institution, to build new farms or upgrade existing ones for climate resilience. This funding bypasses the usual Director of General Services approval for those contracts.
