AN ACT EXEMPTING MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT USED IN THE PROCESS OF COLORING OR MIXING PAINT FROM THE SALES AND USE TAXES.

This bill would remove sales tax on machinery and equipment used by paint retailers to mix or color paint. It directly affects retail businesses that sell paint, as they would no longer pay tax on the specific tools used to customize paint colors for customers. The exemption applies to the purchase, storage, use, or consumption of these machines within the state. The bill does not exempt the paint itself or other types of equipment.
