This bill proposes a sales tax exemption for certain construction materials purchased for Browerville Public Schools, specifically for projects within Independent School District No. 787. The exemption applies to materials and supplies used in renovations to the prekindergarten through grade 12 school building and the construction of a new gymnasium, classrooms, locker rooms, a wrestling and weight room, offices, and a stage. The eligible purchases must be made between December 1, 2023, and January 1, 2026. Although the sales tax will initially be collected, it will be refunded in accordance with existing provisions for similar projects, with refunds not issued until after June 30, 2025.

Additionally, the bill includes an appropriation from the general fund to the commissioner of revenue to cover the refunds associated with this exemption. The effective date of this legislation is retroactive for sales and purchases made after December 31, 2023, and before January 1, 2026.
