Senate Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Committee, Feb 12, 2026

  1. Committee chair33:23

    Our first item on the agenda, uh, SR four resolution, encouraging the integration of agriculture into residential development. Senator Sandall, uh, no subs or no amendments? Time is yours.

  2. Sen. Scott D. Sandall33:36

    Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um, typically, uh, I know resolutions don't do a lot around here, uh, but in this regard, uh, I think there's been a little confusion, maybe a little hesitation with some developers and planners on whether the legislature would agree or like agriculture planned into the residential communities. So, just simply created this Senate resolution. Won't go to the house, won't go to the governor, just from the Senate saying, you know what? It's okay if you, if you desire and you want to go ahead and plan some agriculture into your new development in your new community. Uh, with that, that's basically what the, what the resolution does. It just gives a nod from the legislature.

  3. Committee chair34:24

    Okay. Great. Senator. Um, we'll bring it to the committee then see if there's anybody has any clarifying questions on the resolution. I'm not seeing any, any lights.
