Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's tax code by extending the existing sales and use tax exemption for broadband equipment and infrastructure from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The legislation specifically modifies Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 67-6-391(a), which provides a tax break for purchases and leases of equipment used to produce broadband communications services or provide internet access. By pushing back the expiration date, the bill ensures that telecommunications companies and internet service providers will continue to receive this tax incentive for an additional two years, potentially encouraging further investment in broadband infrastructure across the state. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by maintaining financial support for broadband expansion.
