The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 206, aims to amend chapter 219 of the general statutes to exempt the cost of headstones from sales and use taxes. Specifically, the bill stipulates that up to two thousand five hundred dollars of the cost of a headstone will be exempt from these taxes, providing financial relief to individuals purchasing headstones.

This legislative change is intended to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with burial expenses, recognizing the significance of headstones in honoring deceased loved ones. The bill does not include any deletions from current law, focusing solely on the new insertion regarding the tax exemption for headstone costs.
