Bill > SF1063

This bill provides an exemption from Minnesota's sales and use tax for fiber and conduit purchased or leased by broadband or internet service providers for the provision of broadband or internet access services. The exemption is retroactive to July 1, 2017, and the bill also appropriates funds from the general fund to allow the state to issue refunds for taxes paid on such purchases during this period. The bill is intended to encourage investment in broadband infrastructure and improve access to high-speed internet services across the state.
