Bill Summary

A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to revenue and taxation; to amend sections 77-2701.02 and 77-27,132, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024; to change the sales and use tax rate; to harmonize provisions; to provide an operative date; and to repeal the original sections.

AI Summary

This bill proposes changes to the sales and use tax rate in Nebraska, modifying two existing statutes related to tax rates and revenue distribution. The bill extends the current sales tax rate of 5.5% until July 1, 2026, and introduces a placeholder for a potential future tax rate (marked as "XX" percent) starting July 1, 2026. It maintains a reduced tax rate of 2.75% for transactions within specific "good life districts" located in cities or villages. Additionally, the bill updates the Revenue Distribution Fund provisions, including how sales tax proceeds from certain vehicle and equipment sales will be allocated to various state funds like the Highway Trust Fund, Highway Allocation Fund, and Game and Parks Commission Capital Maintenance Fund. The bill specifies that it will become operative on July 1, 2026, and will repeal the original sections of the statutes it amends. The changes appear to be part of ongoing adjustments to Nebraska's tax structure and revenue allocation mechanisms.
