                              FISCAL ANALYSIS


ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) state that this proposal changes
the project exemption certificate procedure to be sure that the exempt entity
is responsible for any tax liability if they have issued a project exemption
certificate outside their statutory authority. This is a protection measure
for those contractors relying on such certificates.

Oversight assumes this proposal would not effect Total State Revenues.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of
this proposal.


DESCRIPTION

Under this act, if a tax-exempt entity issues project exemption certificates
for the purchase of tangible personal property and materials which are
incorporated into or consumed in the construction of its project and the
entity is subsequently found not to have authority to issue such
certificates, or if the property and materials purchased are not related to
the entity's exempt functions and activities, the issuing entity shall be
liable for the tax owed on such personal property and materials.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
