Legislation urged easing rules on stills
The Senate and Department of Revenue back legislation to ease regulation of small ethanol distilleries producing up to 10,000 proof gallons annually. It would cut monthly reports and ease bonding, targeting small operators while leaving major ethanol producers unchanged. Also approved was a Maitland bill to tighten truancy rules from 15 of 90 days to 10 of 40 to allow early counseling and deny state aid for chronic nonattendance.
