What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law provides that the sale of tangible personal property that becomes

a component of a facility in this state that is owned by a county, municipality, school

district, 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 county, municipality, school district, or

nonprofit organization as part of constructing the facility. This bill expands the

exemption to apply to tangible personal property transferred to a technical college

district, to any institution or campus in the University of Wisconsin System, or to the

University of Wisconsin-Extension.

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.
