HB 789 -- SALES TAX EXEMPTION FOR CHARITABLE AND CIVIC
ORGANIZATIONS

SPONSOR:  Salva

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Committee on Local
Government by a vote of 15 to 0.

This bill expands the current state and local sales and use tax
exemption for sales made to or by civic and charitable
organizations to allow an exemption for sales outside their civic
and charitable activities and functions.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2006, FY 2007, and
FY 2008.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the recent interpretation and
enforcement of this provision of law made it difficult for
charitable and civic groups to continue to do good works.

Testifying for the bill were Representatives Salva and Richard.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
