Bill Summary

Fertilizer and lime permit requirements. Amends the provisions governing the permit requirements for bulk lime materials to add a distributor who holds a valid license to distribute a regulated product, as defined in the bill, to the list of people who can sell bulk liming material. The bill also removes duplicative language relating to (i) when a permit expires, (ii) the cost of obtaining a permit, and (iii) the authority of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services to issue written notices and collect fees for failing to obtain a permit.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Virginia law regarding the sale of bulk liming material, which is material in non-packaged form used to neutralize soil acidity. Specifically, it expands the list of individuals and entities permitted to sell bulk liming material to include a distributor who holds a valid license to distribute a "regulated product," a term defined elsewhere in the bill. The bill also removes redundant language related to when a permit for selling bulk liming material expires, the cost of obtaining such a permit, and the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services' authority to issue notices and collect fees for failing to obtain a permit.
