Bill Summary

This bill would provide a 50% sales and use tax exemption in any municipality 99% or more of the area of which is located within the Highlands Region preservation area. Because of the State designation of the Highlands Region preservation area, the economic vitality of municipalities that are entirely or almost entirely slated for preservation is seriously undermined. This sales tax exemption should result in maintaining the local economic base, preserve retail establishments and retain jobs in these municipalities.
