The Commissioner of Agriculture shall identify opportunities in the state procurement process for the Commonwealth to use its purchasing power to support and encourage the growth of Kentucky's agricultural economy.

The Commissioner shall report those opportunities to the Governor, the secretary of the Finance and Administration Cabinet, and the Legislative Research Commission by October 1, 2002. The report shall also include recommended changes in the procurement system that may accommodate the sale of more Kentucky-grown agricultural products to state agencies.
