What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law provides a sales and use tax exemption for the sale of precious metal bullion. In order to claim the exemption, the purchaser must provide an exemption certificate to the seller. The certificate is an electronic or paper certificate prescribed by the Department of Revenue. Under current law, many sales and use tax exemptions do not require the purchaser to provide an exemption certificate at the time of purchase. This bill eliminates the certificate requirement to claim the exemption for the sale of precious metal bullion.
