What changed in the latest version
62 added · 55 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent changes to Bill SB 73 include the addition of a requirement that buyers must provide an affidavit confirming the fencing materials will be used strictly for agricultural livestock purposes. This addition is important because it ensures that the tax exemption is used only for its intended purpose, preventing misuse and ensuring support goes directly to genuine agricultural operations. The bill still offers a sales tax exemption for up to $25,000 in fencing materials from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2029.
