SB 5674 -
By Committee on Government Accountability & Oversight
ADOPTED 04/09/2013
On page 2, after line 28, insert the following:
"(6) For the purposes of this section, a "qualifying farmers
market" has the same meaning as defined in RCW 66.24.170. However, if
a farmers market does not satisfy RCW 66.24.170(5)(g)(i)(B), which
requires that the total combined gross annual sales of vendors who are
farmers exceed the total combined gross annual sales of vendors who are
processors or resellers, a farmers market is still considered a
"qualifying farmers market" if the total combined gross annual sales of
vendors at the farmers market is one million dollars or more."
EFFECT: Provides that if a farmers market's combined gross annual sales of farmer vendors does not exceed the annual sales of other vendors, the farmers market may still be considered a "qualifying farmers market" for purposes of sampling if the total combined gross annual sales of vendors at the farmers market is $1 million or more (the farmers market must still meet all other requirements).
