Establishes one-time tax credits for certain organic farmers.

This bill, S 1645, would have provided a one-time tax credit to New Jersey organic farmers who paid certification fees to both an accredited certifying agent and the state Department of Agriculture during May 30-December 31, 2022. The credit amount would equal the difference between fees paid to the accredited agent and fees paid to the state department for that period. To qualify, farmers must have been certified by the state on January 11, 2022, and paid fees for both certification paths during the specified timeframe. The bill was introduced in January 2024 and withdrawn from consideration on January 29, 2024.
