The Department of Health and Human Services has ordered the Food and Drug Administration to stop enforcement of an arbitrary fee the FDA was trying to impose on distilleries in Kentucky and other states.
The FDA was attempting to assess a $14,000 fee on distilleries such as Casey Jones and others who stepped up to produce hand sanitizer during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Department of Health and Human Services Chief of Staff Brian Harrison announced on December 31 they directed the FDA to cease enforcement of the arbitrary, surprise fees. Harrison said in a statement on Twitter Thursday Small Businesses who stepped up to fight COVID-19 should be applauded by their government, not taxed for doing so.
