What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill modifies the sales and use tax exemption for commercial radio and television station property so that a broadcast transmitter, a satellite dish, and a communications tower, including the material used to build the tower, are exempt from the sales and use tax if the tower is used primarily for transmitting or receiving commercial radio or television program material. In addition, leased space on a communications tower is also exempt if the space is used exclusively for transmitting or receiving commercial radio or television program material. Finally, a motor vehicle licensed for highway use is also exempt if it is used exclusively in the origination of commercial radio or television program material.
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.
