What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if a nonprofit organization sells admissions to an event involving entertainment, the sale of those admissions are exempt from sales tax if the payment for the entertainment is no more than $10,000 and certain other conditions are met. This bill increases the $10,000 threshold to $50,000.
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.
