(LARA) (Sec. 1)Current LawThe Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Bill) allows universities and state departments of agriculture to begin cultivating industrial hemp for purposes of research conducted under an agricultural pilot program or other agricultural and academic research if allowed under state law. Grow sites must be certified and registered by the state. The USDA, in consultation with the DEA and FDA, released a Statement of Principles on Industrial Hemp to inform the public on the applicable activities associated with industrial hemp grown in accordance with the 2014 Farm Bill. At least 30 states have passed legislation related to industrial hemp, and in general, have taken three approaches: 1) establishing research and/or pilot programs; 2) authorizing studies; or 3) establishing commercial programs. State statutes, with the exception of West Virginia, define industrial hemp as a variety of cannabis with a THC concentration of not more than .3%. Many states specify that the THC concentration is based on a dry weight basis and can be measured from any part of the plant. Additionally, some states also require the plant to be processed by a licensed grower for it to be considered industrial hemp. Most requirements for licensing, registration and permitting include: 1) criminal background checks; 2) periodic renewals, usually every one to three years; 3) registration of the grow sites; 3) record keeping and reporting of sales or distribution, including to whom it was sold or distributed; and 4) documentation from the state agency or institution of higher education proving the grower is participating in an approved program. Some states have also removed hemp from the controlled substances list and exempted industrial hemp from the statutory definition on marijuana if it is grown within specific regulations. To protect growers from criminal prosecution some states provide an affirmative defense for cannabis possession and cultivation charges for licensed individuals. Some state laws establishing commercial programs require a change in federal law or waivers from the DEA before implementation by the state (NCSL).2362835-43878500ARIZONA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVESSB 1416: revitalization districts; county participationPRIME SPONSOR: Senator Pratt, LD 8BILL STATUS: Caucus and COWWM: DPA/SE (8-1-0-0)32575501524000Legend:R&D – Research & DevelopmentAmendments – BOLD and Stricken (Committee)00Legend:R&D – Research & DevelopmentAmendments – BOLD and Stricken (Committee)Strike-Everything Amendment AbstractRelating to tax credits and business incentives.ProvisionsQuality Jobs Tax CreditContinues the Quality Jobs Tax Credit indefinitely THROUGH FY 2025.

Prop 105 (45 votes) ? Prop 108 (40 votes) ? Emergency (40 votes)? Fiscal Note00? Prop 105 (45 votes) ? Prop 108 (40 votes) ? Emergency (40 votes)? Fiscal NoteLaws 2011, Second Special Session, Chapter 1 established the Quality Jobs Tax Credit, providing a tax credit to employers that make a minimum capital investment and create a minimum number of new qualified jobs in the state. Qualified taxpayers receive a tax credit of $3,000 annually for the first three years of a new employee’s time of employment. The credit may be taken as an insurance premium tax credit, or individual or corporate income tax credit (A.R.S. §§ 20-224.03, 41-1525, 43-1074 & 43-1161).The R&D Tax Credit Program provides a corporate or individual income tax credit for qualified research expenses. The credit is based on the amount of the taxpayer’s qualifying research expenses in Arizona and is directly tied to the federal credits for the purpose of determining qualified R&D expenses under the credit provisions. For TY 2011 through TY 2017, the credit is equal to 24% of the first $2.5 million in qualifying expenses, plus 15% of the amount exceeding $2.5 million. In TY 2018 and beyond the credit is equal to 20% of the first $2.5 million in qualifying expenses, plus 11% of the amount exceeding $2.5 million. Additional credit is available if a taxpayer makes basic research payments during the TY to a state university. The tax credit is nonrefundable, but a qualifying taxpayer that employs less than 150 full-time employees worldwide may submit an application for a refund to the Arizona Commerce Authority (A.R.S. §§ 41-1507, 43-1074.01 & 43-1168). A.R.S. § 42-13054 establishes an accelerated depreciation schedule for specified property types, classified during or after TY 2012, as class one or two. The accelerated depreciation schedule is as follows:25% of the scheduled depreciated value for the first tax year of assessment;41% of the scheduled depreciated value for the second tax year of assessment;57% of the scheduled depreciated value for the third tax year of assessment;73% of the scheduled depreciated value for the fourth tax year of assessment; 89% of the scheduled depreciated value for the fifth tax year of assessment; andThe scheduled depreciated value for the sixth and subsequent tax years of assessments. ................
