Plain-language change summary

The proposed amendments to Bill SB 2150 clarify the definition of "farming or ranching" in North Dakota by specifying what activities are not included under this definition. This includes agricultural support services, small-scale aquaculture or greenhouse agriculture, beekeeping, and the production of timber or forest products, among others. These changes matter because they aim to ensure that only those directly involved in traditional farming and ranching are categorized as such, potentially affecting regulations and eligibility for certain programs or benefits.
