Provides 50 percent sales and use tax exemption for certain businesses in impacted municipalities during ongoing public highway project.
This bill provides a 50% sales tax exemption for small retail businesses operating in municipalities affected by ongoing public highway projects. It applies to businesses with a fixed location offering goods or services (like retail stores or charter boat services) during the "relief period" - the time between when a highway project starts and ends. Businesses must apply to the Tax Division Director for approval, verifying their location within an impacted area. The exemption automatically ends 30 days after the Transportation Commissioner notifies the Tax Division that the highway project is complete.
