SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Farmers markets. Requires that persons operating farmers markets pursuant to a contract with the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services annually submit to the Commissioner and the Farmers Market Board a plan for, and a report on, the operation of the market. The plan is to describe the operator’s goals for the coming year, and the report is to describe the extent to which the goals for the previous year were met. The Commissioner must annually submit a report summarizing the market operators' reports and plans to the chairmen of the standing committees of jurisdiction in the General Assembly. There are currently four wholesale farmers markets to which this bill would apply. This is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying Virginia’s Farmers Market System.
