Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The stated purpose of this bill is to provide a consumers sales and service tax and use tax exemption for certain services and tangible personal property sold for the repair, remodeling and maintenance of aircraft owned and operated under a fractional ownership program.

Memorandum


The stated purpose of this bill is to provide a consumers sales and service tax and use tax exemption for certain services and tangible personal property sold for the repair, remodeling and maintenance of aircraft owned and operated under a fractional ownership program. The proposed bill bases its definition of fractional ownership on federal regulations. This could create issues if federal regulations are changed or if fractional ownership programs are redefined. As written, the bill does not clarify how the Tax Department is to determine that an airplane is part of a fractional ownership program.
