Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The stated purpose of this bill is to eliminate the consumer sale and service tax exemption on purchases of certain materials by a second party in construction or maintenance of a highway project for the 2016 fiscal year, and to resume the exemption for the 2017 fiscal year and thereafter.
The proposed bill would temporarily suspend the annual transfer of Consumers Sales and Service Tax revenue to the State Road Fund on the basis of a formula tied to the value of contract purchases in FY2016. This one-time elimination of the transfer would be a revenue gain to the General Revenue Fund of approximately $9.0 million in FY2017 and an equivalent revenue loss to the State Road Fund. The transfer would resume beginning in FY2018. The single-year elimination of the General Revenue Fund transfer to the State Road Fund is included in the budget presented by the Governor in his estimates for FY2017.
There would be no additional administrative costs incurred by the State Tax Department.
