AI Summary
This bill exempts temporary staffing services provided to nonprofit behavioral health entities from retail sales tax, meaning these organizations will no longer have to pay sales tax on services that provide them with temporary workers. The bill defines "behavioral health services" and "nonprofit behavioral health entity" to clarify which organizations qualify for this exemption, and it specifies that "temporary staffing services" are those that provide workers to businesses for limited periods to supplement their workforce, with the exception of services provided to hospitals. This change aims to reduce the financial burden on organizations dedicated to providing mental and behavioral health support.
