Subcommittee issues negative recommendation for bill exempting sales tax on small-aircraft repairs
Summary
Senate Bill 2143, sponsored by Chairman White, would remove sales tax on repairs to aircraft under 12,500 pounds; the subcommittee recorded a $3.9 million fiscal note and issued a negative recommendation to the Finance Committee.
Chairman White explained Senate Bill 2143, which would remove sales tax on repairs to aircraft weighing less than 12,500 pounds so that small-plane repairs are taxed the same way as larger aircraft. "This is just to make it equal," White said.
The chair reported a fiscal impact of $3,900,000. After questions, committee members voted on a motion for a negative recommendation; the roll call returned five ayes and the bill was reported to the Finance Committee with a negative recommendation.
The measure's sponsor said the change is intended to align tax treatment across aircraft sizes. The committee's negative recommendation registers its position for the next committee stage but is not a final legislative determination.
