Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, various products that are used in farming are exempt from the sales tax and the use tax, such as seeds for planting, animal bedding, fertilizer, medicines used on certain farm livestock and milk house supplies. This bill exempts from the sales tax and the use tax farm animal ear tags and mastitis detection solution.

This bill will be referred to the joint survey committee on tax exemptions for a detailed analysis, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
