Two bills to reestablish a nonprofit property tax exemption for hosting farmers markets continue to move. SB 5505, which would allow the tax exemption for hosting farmers markets up to 53 days a year, passed the Senate on February 8 and will move to the House for consideration.

HB 1967 a similar bill passed out of the House Appropriations Committee on February 7 and was made eligible for floor action on February 9. The current version removes a provision that would have required the Department of Revenue to study the impact and barriers of tax exemptions on nonprofits.
