Bill > S1412

This bill proposes several key provisions related to taxation in the state of Florida: 1. It authorizes the Department of Revenue to use the best available information to estimate assessment levels in counties affected by natural disasters, in order to address challenges in statistical and analytical reviews of assessment rolls. 2. It establishes a sales tax holiday from May 31 to June 6, 2019, during which certain disaster preparedness supplies such as portable generators, batteries, and coolers will be exempt from the state sales tax. 3. It establishes a separate sales tax holiday from August 2 to August 4, 2019, during which certain clothing, school supplies, and personal computers and related accessories will be exempt from the state sales tax up to specified price limits. 4. It amends the existing law to change the distribution date of funds to offset reductions in ad valorem tax revenue experienced by certain counties due to hurricane-related property value reductions. 5. It authorizes the Department of Revenue to adopt emergency rules to administer the sales tax holidays.
