AI Summary
This bill amends Wisconsin's sales and use tax laws to provide exemptions for beekeeping activities. It defines "beekeeping" as the business of managing bees or bee products, regardless of the number of hives. The bill exempts the sale of drugs for bees, as well as the sale of bees, beehives, and bee combs from sales and use taxes. Additionally, it extends existing tax exemptions for farming-related items, such as electricity and fuel, to include beekeeping operations. The bill aims to support the beekeeping industry in Wisconsin by reducing the tax burden on essential supplies and equipment.
