House adopts substitute to revise sales-and-use tax treatment for religious and charitable organizations
Summary
Lawmakers reconsidered and substituted changes to House Bill 338 to consolidate floor amendments; sponsors said the substitute clarifies intent and is not intended to limit existing exemptions for religious or charitable institutions, and the House passed the substitute unanimously.
Representative Stevens moved to reconsider and substitute House Bill 338 to incorporate floor amendments into one clean substitute bill. He said the substitute consolidates changes made on the floor so the Senate would receive a single, coherent package rather than multiple disconnected amendments.
The House voted to reconsider and then to substitute the bill; the clerk reported "Substitute house bill number 338 have them received 66 affirmative votes, 0 negative votes. Pass this house." Representative Stevens read a legislative intent paragraph stating the changes are intended to simplify administration of the sales-and-use tax exemption for religious or charitable organizations and "are not intended to limit in any way the sales and use tax exemption for religious or charitable institutions or organizations." The substitute passed and will be forwarded to the Senate.
