Fiscal Note Summary


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


The stated purpose of this bill is to make a technical correction in order that §11-15-9i conforms to the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement and making a technical change to the application of the term “durable medical equipment.” According to our interpretation, this bill merely makes a technical correction to change terminology used in an exemption from “durable medical goods” to “durable medical equipment.” The change will conform the term and definition in the exemption to a definition used elsewhere in the West Virginia Code and in the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement. Passage of this bill will have no impact on State revenue. There will be no additional administrative costs for the State Tax Department associated with passage of this bill.
