A bill for an act establishing license fees for food processing plants.

This bill revises Iowa's license fee structure for food processing plants based on their annual gross sales. It establishes three fee tiers: $150 for plants with under $200,000 in annual sales, $300 for $200,000-$2 million in sales, and $500 for sales over $2 million. A separate flat $75 fee applies to farms or residences processing meat/poultry on-site for direct consumer or business sales. The bill affects all commercial food processing facilities regulated under Iowa Code chapter 137F, replacing the previous fee schedule that had a $75 fee for sales under $50,000. The change takes effect upon enactment and applies to annual license renewals.
