The bill amends the General Sales Tax Act of 1933 by updating definitions and legal language related to various terms used within the act. Key definitions include "Alcoholic beverage," "Computer," "Computer software," and "Delivery charges," among others. Notably, the bill clarifies that "computer" refers to an electronic device that processes information based on a sequence of instructions, and "delivery charges" are specified to exclude charges for direct mail if separately stated. Additionally, the definition of "dietary supplement" is refined to include specific labeling requirements and ingredients, while "drug" is updated to reflect current pharmacopoeia standards.

Several terms have been modified for clarity, such as changing "deletion" to "insertion" in various contexts, and the bill specifies that certain definitions apply only to leases and rentals entered into after September 1, 2004. The bill also emphasizes that the enactment of this amendment is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4883. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the language and definitions within the General Sales Tax Act to better reflect current practices and standards.
