Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides exemptions from state sales and use taxes for certain
property, items, and services sold to farming businesses. This bill extends those
exemptions to beekeeping.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be
referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed
as an appendix to the bill.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
