What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, electricity and natural gas sold during the months of

November, December, January, February, March, and April for residential use is

exempt from the sales and use tax. This bill exempts from the sales and use tax

electricity and natural gas sold for residential use regardless of when it is sold.

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.
