AGRICULTURE -- Amends and repeals existing law to revise provisions regarding certain fees and to remove provisions regarding certain inspection fees, tonnage fees and reports, and the artificial production of rainfall.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) proposes a bill related to Red Tape Reduction within Title 22. The bill has three components: Simplifying the fee structure of the fertilizer program by repealing tonnage fees, simplifying the fee structure of soil and plant amendment program by repealing tonnage fees, and, repealing Title 22, Chapter 32 which governs the artificial production of rainfall. This law is outdated and was superseded by the passage of H 266 in 2021. This legislation would create a more streamlined framework for fertilizer, soil and plant amendment registration. Currently, customers pay a registration fee and then separate fees for tonnage. This process is cumbersome for customers and takes considerable time for ISDA staff to review. This legislation would eliminate the process of paying by tonnage. This type of structure was successfully implemented in the ISDA feed program several years ago.
