Fiscal Note Summary


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


The stated purpose of this bill is to exempt certain public safety training courses, including hand-gun safety, from payment of consumer sales tax. We are unable to accurately estimate the loss to the General Revenue Fund from the passage of this bill. There are various safety training courses available at varying prices, but we do not have enough available information on the number of individuals who may sign up and pay for such classes in any given year to estimate the loss. There would be no additional administrative costs to the State Tax Department from the passage of this bill.
