Exempts from local taxes and fees for a municipal Utility in which the members are elected
HB 4652 exempts duly elected municipal utility boards, along with their contractors, subcontractors, and vendors, from local taxes and fees related to construction projects in West Virginia. This includes local sales taxes, business taxes, and other local charges on goods, services, or activities tied to construction. The bill applies specifically to municipal utility boards (not private utilities) and directly affects construction costs for these publicly governed utilities. It creates a clear exemption for such projects, aiming to reduce administrative and financial burdens on municipal utility infrastructure work.
