This bill proposes a sales tax exemption for construction materials used in the development of a new public safety training facility in the city of Lakeville. Specifically, it allows for a refundable exemption on materials, supplies, and equipment purchased for the construction, reconstruction, upgrade, expansion, renovation, or remodeling of the facility, provided these purchases occur between February 28, 2025, and September 1, 2026. The tax will be collected initially but refunded later, following the procedures outlined in existing Minnesota tax law.
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 within the specified timeframe, ensuring that eligible projects can benefit from the tax relief as intended.
