S 1054 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

BEANS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the Idaho Bean Commission and tax levies on beans.

This bill amends Idaho Code sections related to the bean industry, specifically revising the structure of the Idaho Bean Commission, clarifying industry definitions, and updating tax levy rules. It directly affects Idaho bean growers, processors, shippers, and handlers by changing how the commission operates and sets taxes. Key provisions include granting the commission authority to adjust the tax rate (12-24 cents per hundredweight) with a simple majority vote, removing outdated membership requirements, and clarifying terms like "grower" and "primary channels of trade." The tax must be paid when beans are first handled in primary trade, with specific rules for how costs are shared between growers and handlers. The changes take effect July 1, 2025.
