Food certificate payment provisions modified.
HF 2052 modifies Minnesota's fee structure for food export certificates. It sets a $125 fee for certificates needed to move Minnesota food products out of state, including documents like health certificates and origin certificates. Businesses must pay the fee when requesting the certificate or within seven days of issuance, and if unpaid within 15 days of billing, the Department of Agriculture cannot issue future certificates until fees are settled. The bill affects food exporters and manufacturers requiring these certificates for interstate or international shipments. Fees must be deposited into a specific account for food certificate expenses.
