HB 1831
Sponsor:
Ruth, Becky
Status:
GOVERNOR SIGNED
Description:
Include diapers for children or adults among the items that are exempt from the sales tax for three-day period in early August. SA 1 exempts from the sales tax non-profit social clubs like country clubs registered under federal 501(c)(7). Legislative staff estimate no revenue collection impact because the Revenue Department does not distinguish between adult or child diapers in the current August sales tax exemption for diapers.
See:
House roll call - HB 1831 (05/18/2018)
: 3rd reading and final approval of a bill exempt social clubs from the sales tax.
Senate roll call - HB 1831 (05/18/2018)

Note: The descriptions of bills, amendments and roll-call votes are written by MDN journalists. MDN's database may not include committee assignments of bills made on the last day of the session since it is too late for the committee to act on the bill and, thus, the delayed assignment has no practical effect.
