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 establishes that materials and supplies consumed in the construction, reconstruction, upgrade, expansion, renovation, or remodeling of the facility will be exempt from sales and use tax, provided they are purchased between February 28, 2025, and September 1, 2026. The tax will be collected initially but refunded later, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes, with refunds for eligible purchases not being 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 within the specified timeframe, ensuring that the exemption applies to qualifying transactions occurring after February 28, 2025.
