This bill amends the Arkansas Gross Receipts Act of 1941 by exempting certain storage services and accommodations provided by tourist camps and tourist courts from sales tax. Specifically, it removes the service of furnishing accommodations by tourist camps and tourist courts from the list of taxable services, allowing these entities to operate without the burden of sales tax. Additionally, the bill repeals provisions that previously included boat storage and docking fees, as well as the furnishing of camping or trailer spaces at campgrounds, in the taxable services.

The effective date for these changes is set for the first day of the calendar quarter following the enactment of the bill. This legislative action aims to promote tourism and storage services by reducing the tax liabilities for these specific sectors, thereby potentially encouraging economic growth in these areas.
