CT SB00313

Allows veterans with less than two years of farming experience to obtain a farmer tax exemption permit without meeting the standard $2,500 minimum gross income requirement from agricultural production.

Exempts veteran farmers from the requirement that they purchased their farm operation from a previous permit holder, while maintaining the two-year operation requirement to avoid tax liability.

Requires the Department of Agriculture to collaborate with the Department of Veterans' Affairs and Labor Department to encourage veterans to start or expand agricultural businesses and provide farming education and training opportunities.

Maintains existing farmer tax exemption permit requirements for non-veterans, including periodic registration, applications, and penalties for permit misuse.
