Bill > H2718

This bill establishes a farm fuel tax rebate program in Massachusetts. Farms, as defined under state law, will be eligible to receive a rebate for the fuel taxes they have paid for operating farm equipment, which includes various types of agricultural machinery and vehicles. The Commissioner of the relevant state agency will publish a list of eligible equipment and prescribe the process for farms to apply for the rebate. The rebate must be processed within three months, and no interest will be paid. The Commissioner will also report on the impact of the rebate program, including its revenue cost and economic effects on Massachusetts farms and mechanics, within two years of the program's implementation. The rebate program will expire after four years unless reauthorized by the legislature.
