An act relating to the Uniform Capacity Tax and Farm Security Special Fund

Summary

The measure increases the Uniform Capacity Tax on larger solar generators and grid‑connected storage facilities, directing half of the additional revenue to a new Farm Security Special Fund. The fund, run by the Secretary of Agriculture, Food and Markets, will provide grants that cover up to 50% of uninsured weather‑damage losses for Vermont farms, with a $150,000 annual cap per farm. It aims to give farmers a safety net against increasingly severe weather events.
