AI Summary

  • Expands the definition of "ranch" for agricultural property tax purposes to include land used for both grazing AND raising livestock for profit, rather than only grazing
  • Removes the limited definition of "livestock" that applied specifically to ranches, allowing the broader general definition that includes all animals (such as pigs and chickens) to apply
  • Extends agricultural property tax reductions to producers raising chickens, pigs, and other non-grazing livestock for profit
  • Takes effect January 1, 2026, applying to property tax years beginning on or after that date
  • Subject to potential referendum petition within 90 days of legislative adjournment, which would delay implementation until voter approval in November 2026
