Bill > HB2197

This bill provides a sales tax exemption for purchases made by Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to building and providing beds to children who are sleeping on floors or other unsuitable places. Specifically, the bill amends the existing Kansas sales tax law to add a new exemption (labeled as subsection "xxxx") that allows Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Inc. to purchase tangible personal property without paying sales tax, as long as those purchases are used for the purpose of building and providing fully furnished beds to children in need. The organization must be exempt from federal income taxation under section 501(c)(3) of the federal internal revenue code. The bill follows a standard format for sales tax exemptions in Kansas, which requires specific documentation and provides guidelines for how the exemption can be applied. The exemption will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
