relating to: a sales tax and
2a use tax exemption for items used for conservation or restoration related to

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, certain items, such as seeds, plants, and fertilizer, are
exempt from the sales tax and the use tax if such items are used in the business of
farming. Under this bill, such items are exempt if the items are used for conservation
or restoration related to agricultural land or in the business of farming.
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.
