Senate Bill 318 altered the Rice Straw Burning Reduction Act of 1991 and created
the Rice Straw Demonstration Project Fund (the Rice Fund) to provide incentives
for the development of commercial uses for rice straw. The Rice Fund provided
grants of up to 50 percent for projects which utilize significant amounts of
Sacramento Valley rice straw. Grants were awarded for the years 1998, 1999,
and 2000.
