Bill > H3199

This bill proposes to establish a sales tax exemption for Energy Star products and hybrid or electric motor vehicles specifically on Earth Day. Energy Star is a government-backed program that certifies energy-efficient products across various categories, such as appliances, electronics, and buildings. By adding a new subsection to section 6 of chapter 64 of the General Laws, the bill would temporarily remove sales tax for consumers purchasing these environmentally friendly products on Earth Day, which is celebrated annually on April 22nd. The goal appears to be incentivizing consumers to buy energy-efficient and environmentally friendly products by making them more affordable, while also raising awareness about environmental sustainability. The bill does not specify the year of implementation or provide additional details about the exact products that would qualify for the tax exemption beyond mentioning Energy Star products and hybrid/electric motor vehicles.
