	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2054, Wolk.  Biologically integrated farming systems:  pilot
projects.
   Existing law establishes within the University of California a
program of pilot demonstration projects designed to provide extension
services, training, and financial incentives for participating
farmers to implement biologically integrated farming systems.
Existing law prohibits new pilot projects from being commenced on or
after December 31, 2005, and allows the University of California to
use available funds for projects commenced before that date until all
funds available for projects are encumbered.
   This bill would delete the references to December 31, 2005.  It
would prohibit new pilot projects from being commenced on or after
December 31, 2010, and would allow the University of California to
use available funds for projects commenced before that date.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 599 of the Food and Agricultural Code is
amended to read:
   599.  New pilot demonstration projects may not be commenced on or
after December 31, 2010.  Until all funds available for the projects
are encumbered, the University of California may continue to use
available funds for projects that it commenced prior to December 31,
2010.
