The Farmers Credit Bill
Farmers get tax credit for donating food to charities
An Act Establishing A Tax Credit For Food Donated By Farmers To Charitable Organizations.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, farmers could claim a state tax credit when they give food to charities, which may lower their taxes but cost the state.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill could help hungry people get more food, but it also means less tax revenue for the state, which could affect services.
