What this bill does
AI summary from the official description
The bill lets certain heavy equipment rental businesses add a separate recovery fee to rentals to help cover property taxes, and that fee must be itemized and is not subject to sales tax. It bars rental businesses from charging this fee to government entities and directs the State Tax Commission, with county auditors and the Multicounty Appraisal Trust, to study the fee rate and report recommendations to the Legislature.
