What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
