What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, certain personal property held for rental for periods of one

month or less to multiple users for their temporary use is exempt from the property

tax, if the property owner is primarily engaged in the business of renting or leasing

property. Under this bill, certain property held primarily for rental for periods of 364

days or less to multiple users for their temporary use is exempt from the property tax,

if the property owner is primarily engaged in the business of renting or leasing heavy

equipment for construction, mining, or forestry.

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.
