2024 Farm Act Introduced (May 25, 2024)

Members of the N.C. House Agriculture Committee received a draft of the North Carolina Farm Act of 2024 Wednesday. The bill is scheduled for a first hearing in the committee next week.

The proposed bill addresses several North Carolina Farm Bureau priorities, including enhancements to feral swine law enforcement, a report on low-hanging communication lines, important changes to shellfish lease and franchise rules, a clarification to the regulatory authority of municipalities over beehives in extraterritorial jurisdictions, and exemptions for ag land from stormwater fees.

The bill can be found here: https://webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewDocSiteFile/87690, and a bill summary can be found here: https://webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewDocSiteFile/87691.

Our team is reviewing the rest of the provisions and we’ll have more in next week’s Capitol Roundup.
