Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to SB 722 clarifies the definition of an "authorized agent" for the State Board of Agriculture. It specifies that this agent must hold a written or printed commission, which is signed by the Board's President, confirming their authority to act on behalf of the Board. This change is important because it provides clearer guidelines on who can represent the Board and ensures that all actions taken by these agents are backed by official authorization, enhancing accountability in agricultural practices.
