The proposed Bill No. 6241 aims to support the agriculture industry in Connecticut through several key measures. It seeks to exempt farm machinery, horses, and ponies valued between $100,000 and $500,000 from personal property tax. Additionally, the bill introduces a Connecticut farmer investment tax credit to help reduce production costs for agricultural products. It also limits farmers' liability for agrotourism activities, establishes a state fund for disaster recovery on farms, allows grocery beer permit holders to sell hard cider, mandates that only science-based agencies regulate pesticides and herbicides, and raises the unemployment tax threshold for employers from $20,000 to $30,000 annually.

The bill includes significant insertions to current law, such as the establishment of the farmer investment tax credit and the creation of a state fund for disaster recovery. It also proposes the deletion of the existing unemployment tax threshold, raising it to better accommodate farmers. Overall, the bill is designed to provide financial assistance and regulatory support to enhance the sustainability of Connecticut's agricultural sector.
