HB 209 Sweet Potato Board and Fund; abolished.
Introduced by: Clifford L. Athey, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Virginia Sweet Potato Board. Abolishes the Virginia Sweet Potato Board, the Virginia Sweet Potato Fund and the excise tax that supports the Board's promotion of sweet potatoes. The Sweet Potato Board was created prior to 1950 to support the sweet potato industry through grants for education, research, and marketing. The Sweet Potato Association favors the elimination of the Board because the number of sweet potato growers has declined in Virginia and the funds available are not sufficient to carry out the programs to promote the industry. This bill is incorporated into HB 13.
