What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill creates a sales and use tax exemption for items and services sold as part of a lump sum contract. Under the bill, a lump sum contract is a contract to perform real property construction activities and for which the contractor quotes the charge for labor, services of subcontractors, and materials as one price, including a contract for which the contractor itemizes the charges for labor, services of subcontractors, and materials as part of a schedule of values or similar document.

Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed as an appendix to the bill.
