LEGISLATIVE ACTION

Legislative Reductions

The Legislature reduces administrative support for the Department of Agriculture and Markets by $500,000 reflecting a reduction in non-personal service support for the relocation of Department headquarters. In addition, the Legislature denies the Executive Proposal to raise the current biennial fee for food salvagers from $100 to $200.

Article VII

The Legislature concurs with the Executive’s proposed Article VII legislation that would:

  • Increase the biennial fee for the licensure of slaughter houses, refrigerated warehouses from its current fee range of $20 to $200 to a flat fee for all licensees of $200;
  • Increase biennial fees for licensure of nursery dealers and nursery growers from its current fee range of $20 to $40 to a flat biennial fee of $100;
  • Establish a new biennial fee on unregistered/unlicensed retail stores of $200 for food warehouses and $100 for all other affected establishments. However, the Legislature includes such fees within Article 28 of the Agriculture and Markets Law rather than creating a new Article 28-a of the Agriculture and Markets Law as was proposed by the Executive;
  • Establish a new annual fee of $25 for the granting of certificates of free sale for the producers of various agricultural products.
