Idaho Bills

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

Over the past few years, costs have increased in the bean industry in Idaho along with a decrease in bean acres grown in Idaho. The Idaho Bean Commission (IBC) has less than a year’s worth of reserves as a result. This legislation updates certain obsolete and outdated portions of the IBC’s statute as well as increases the assessment amount so IBC may meet the statutory charge of the agency. The IBC has not increased their assessment since 1992.
