Exempts innovative and alternative septic systems from sales and use taxes

This bill exempts qualifying innovative septic systems from sales and use taxes. It specifically covers systems with enhanced treatment technologies (like advanced nitrogen removal) that serve single properties (residences or small businesses) and handle no more than 1,000 gallons of waste daily. Homeowners and small businesses purchasing these systems will avoid paying state sales and use taxes on the equipment. The exemption applies only to systems meeting the defined technical and usage criteria. The bill became effective immediately upon enactment.
