What it does

This bill repeals the grain handling excise tax of one-fourth mill per bushel upon all grain handled. For purposes of the tax, “handling or handled” means the receiving of grain at or in each elevator, warehouse, mill, processing plant, or other facility in this state in which it is received for storage, accumulation, sale, processing, or any other purpose. In addition, “grain” means wheat, corn, barley, oats, rye, flaxseed, field peas, soybeans, grain sorghums, spelts, and such other products as are usually stored in grain elevators other than seeds after being processed.
