Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The stated purpose of this bill is to provide a sales tax exemption for high technology services by removing the requirement that high technology business must be fulfilling a government contract before the sales tax exemption for high technology service applies. Due to the broader nature of the proposed exemption, passage of this bill could result in a revenue loss of significance to the General Revenue Fund. Additional administrative costs to the Tax Department would be minimal.
