Bill Summary

Relative to the imposition of the sales tax for the keeping of horses as a commercial enterprise. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill aims to further the protection of agricultural land by exempting the keeping of horses as a commercial enterprise from the state sales tax. Specifically, it amends the existing state sales tax law to explicitly include the keeping of horses for commercial purposes as an exemption, similar to how the law currently exempts agricultural production activities from the sales tax. This change provides tax relief for commercial horse-keeping operations, which can help support the agricultural industry and preserve farmland in the state.
