This amendment adds a new Section 351 to the bill providing a $50 million appropriation from the legislative stabilization reserve account to the Office of the Governor for matching funds for construction of certified meat processing facilities.

• Creates a new Section 351 appropriating $50,000,000 from the legislative stabilization reserve account to the Office of the Governor for matching funds to support construction of meat processing facilities that are USDA-certified cooperatives. The appropriation requires a 1:1 match of state funds to non-state funding, is administered by the Department of Agriculture, approved by the Governor, and does not obligate the state to future financial commitments beyond the initial award. All expenditures must be reported to the management council and joint appropriations committee prior to expenditure, and the appropriation is not intended to be included in the Governor's standard budget for the next fiscal biennium.
