AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to Nebraska's tax laws, primarily by eliminating certain sales and use tax exemptions and imposing taxes on various services, while also modifying provisions related to tax expenditures and the Nebraska Job Creation and Mainstreet Revitalization Act. Specifically, it removes exemptions for items like mineral oil as a dust suppressant and telefloral deliveries, and it expands the scope of taxable services to include things like hair care, hair removal, and veterinary services for pets, while also clarifying that certain veterinary services for livestock remain exempt. The bill also adjusts the definition of "manufacturing machinery and equipment" by removing molds and dies from the exemption and makes changes to the Nebraska Job Creation and Mainstreet Revitalization Act by setting earlier deadlines for new applications and credit usage. Additionally, it clarifies that sales and use tax will apply to the gross receipts from operating mechanical amusement devices, in addition to the existing occupation tax, and allows for local option sales and use taxes on these devices.
