AI Summary
This bill makes significant changes to Nebraska's tax laws, primarily by eliminating certain sales tax exemptions and imposing sales and use taxes on various services, with most of these changes taking effect on January 1, 2027. It also revises school district levy limitations, eliminates the School District Property Tax Relief Act, and establishes a new fund called the New School Relief Fund to provide additional foundation aid to school districts, beginning in fiscal year 2027-28. The bill redefines terms related to services and sellers, and while it removes many existing sales tax exemptions, it introduces a new exemption for health services as defined by the Standard Industrial Classification Manual. Additionally, it modifies provisions related to school district property tax levies and the distribution of tax revenue, aiming to harmonize various tax statutes and provide additional support for education.
