FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) state this proposal would exempt:

1. Replacement parts used in manufacturing, mining, fabricating or producing; 2. Parts required solely for the operation, installation and construction of such machinery and equipment for new or expanded recycling facilities; and, 3. Parts for equipment and machinery used in plant expansion. DOR staff state that this proposal would have a minimal administrative impact on their agency. The revenue impact is unknown, it is anticipated the loss would be substantial.

Oversight assumes this proposal would have a negative unknown impact to the General Revenue Fund, School District Trust Fund, Conservation Fund and Parks & Soil Fund as well as local governments since sales tax revenues would decrease. While data is not available to accurately estimate total affected sales, Oversight assumes that the revenue loss as a result of this proposal would exceed $100,000 annually.

This proposal would result in a decrease in Total State Revenues.
