An act relating to agricultural economic development

This bill, titled "The Food Security Act," supports Vermont farms by reducing regulatory burdens and providing tax benefits. It exempts farms using direct soil injection for liquid manure application from seasonal bans, removes the requirement for a three-acre stormwater permit for compliant farms, and protects farms from nuisance or trespass claims under the right-to-farm law. The bill also exempts farm structures (like fences) and employee housing from municipal regulations, and excludes certain farm income and property sale profits from Vermont income tax. These changes directly affect farmers, farm businesses, and property transfers within agricultural operations.
