This bill would
result in a revenue decrease to the General Fund of $740,000 in fiscal year
2025-26 by exempting all sellers of wild blueberries subject to the blueberry
tax under Title 36, section 4303, from the imposition of the blueberry tax
for calendar year 2025. The bill clarifies that processors and shippers would
remain responsible for their portion of the blueberry tax.
Additionally, the bill includes a one-time General Fund appropriation of
$4,240 in fiscal year 2025-26 to the Bureau of Revenue Services within the
Department of Administrative and Financial Services to fund computer
programming costs associated with the provisions of this bill. |
