ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) state this proposal redefines an existing sales tax credit for certain food processors. They assume it will have no administrative impact on the DOR and believe the loss of revenue to the state would be very minimal to non-existent.
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) states this proposal does not change the department's authority, therefore, DNR will not be impacted.
Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning state this proposal would have no impact on their agency and have no basis for estimating its fiscal impact on the state. The OA deferred to the fiscal impact estimate of the Department of Revenue.
