Summary

The bill changes how the state calculates and distributes sales‑tax revenue generated on fairgrounds, increasing the share from 0.75% to 2% of total gross receipts. The money is sent to the Fair and Exposition Fund for the Department of Food and Agriculture to allocate to fairs, but only if non‑management fair employees receive specified meal breaks and overtime pay. It also requires the tax agency to cover its own administration costs before any funds go to fairs.
