The committee passed SB 2318, which would codify an Agriculture Statistics program. DAB told the panel the bill provides a template of metrics and, with authorized positions, could ramp up quickly to produce an initial report by year‑end.
Senators pressed how quickly results could be available; DAB replied that "if we get the positions, I think we could ramp up pretty quick" and that the bill's statutory template would streamline the work.
