  1 10    NEW SUBSECTION.  16.  The gross receipts from the sale of

  1 13                           EXPLANATION 
  1 14    This bill amends several provisions relating to livestock,
  1 15 by providing that the provisions apply to special species
  1 16 including farm deer and bison.  The Code defines "farm deer"
  1 17 in several sections, including section 189A.2, to mean an
  1 18 animal belonging to the cervidae family and classified as part
  1 19 of the dama species of the dama genus, commonly referred to as
  1 20 fallow deer; part of the elaphus species of the cervus genus,
  1 21 commonly referred to as red deer or elk; or part of the nippon
  1 22 species of the cervus genus, commonly referred to as sika.
  1 23 However, a farm deer does not include any unmarked free-
  1 24 ranging elk.
  1 25    Code chapter 422, division IV, provides for retail sales
  1 26 tax and exemptions.  Code section 422.42 provides definitions
  1 27 for the division.  It excludes from the definition of retail
  1 28 sale agricultural breeding livestock and domesticated fowl.
  1 29 Code section 422.45 contains exemptions for items related to
  1 30 livestock production (e.g., the sale of equipment and
  1 31 machinery or replacement parts for equipment or machinery
  1 32 associated with livestock production, and the sale of bedding
  1 33 materials).  This bill amends the definition of livestock
  1 34 contained in Code section 422.42 to include farm deer and
  1 35 bison, as well as ostriches, rheas, or emus (already
  2  1 considered livestock under Code section 4.1).  In addition,
  2  2 the bill exempts from the sales and use taxes the sale of feed
  2  3 to be used for consumption by farm deer and bison.  Sales of
  2  4 feed supplements and additives used for the same purpose are
  2  5 also exempt.
