Bill > H3124

This bill amends Chapter 64H of the Massachusetts General Laws to create a sales tax exemption for used books and other items sold by libraries and library friends groups when those sales are specifically intended to raise money for library purposes. The proposed change would allow libraries to sell used books and related items without charging sales tax, which could help libraries generate additional funds to support their operations, services, and community programs. By removing the sales tax burden on these fundraising sales, the bill aims to make it easier for libraries to supplement their budgets through book sales and similar fundraising activities. This type of tax exemption can be particularly beneficial for local libraries that often rely on community support and creative funding strategies to maintain and expand their services.
