This bill establishes a refundable sales and use tax exemption for construction materials used in projects within the Redwood Independent School District, specifically for the construction, reconstruction, upgrade, expansion, renovation, or remodeling of Redwood Valley Elementary. The exemption applies to materials, supplies, and equipment purchased between March 11, 2024, and September 9, 2026. The tax will be collected initially but refunded in accordance with existing provisions for similar projects, ensuring that the financial burden is alleviated for the school district.
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, applying to sales and purchases made after March 11, 2024, and before September 9, 2026. This initiative aims to support educational infrastructure improvements in the Redwood area by providing financial relief through tax exemptions.
