What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, municipalities, school districts, and certain nonprofit
organizations are exempt from paying the sales tax and the use tax on purchases of
tangible personal property. To receive the sales tax or use tax exemption, the
municipality, school district, or nonprofit organization must purchase the tangible
personal property. A construction contractor hired by the municipality, school
district, or nonprofit organization may not receive the exemption for property
purchased by the contractor to be used for a municipality, school district, or nonprofit
organization construction project.
Under this bill, the sale of tangible personal property that becomes a component
of a facility in this state that is owned by a municipality or nonprofit organization is
exempt from the sales tax and the use tax. The exemption applies to tangible
personal property purchased by a construction contractor who transfers the property
to the municipality or nonprofit organization as part of constructing the facility.
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.
