The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5132, aims to amend title 12 of the general statutes to exempt from sales and use taxes the machinery and equipment utilized in the process of coloring or mixing paint. This exemption specifically applies to retailers that sell paint at retail within the state. The intent of the bill is to alleviate the tax burden on these retailers, thereby potentially encouraging business growth and investment in the paint industry.

In summary, the bill introduces new legal language that exempts the sale, storage, use, or consumption of specific machinery and equipment related to paint mixing and coloring from sales and use taxes. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text of the bill.
