If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding the transaction privilege tax (TPT) and use tax exemptions for pipes and valves. Specifically, it would expand the existing exemption to include pipes or valves that are four inches in diameter or larger and are used to transport wastewater, in addition to the current exemptions for oil, natural gas, artificial gas, water, and coal slurry. The current language in the statute would be updated to reflect this inclusion, ensuring that wastewater transport is recognized under the same tax exemptions.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the new provisions would apply to taxable periods beginning on or after the first day of the month following the general effective date of the law. This means that the changes would not be retroactive but would take effect for future tax periods, allowing businesses to benefit from the expanded exemptions moving forward.
