It establishes that materials, supplies, and equipment utilized in the construction, reconstruction, upgrade, expansion, renovation, or remodeling of such facilities will be exempt from sales and use tax, provided they are purchased within a specified timeframe. The bill outlines that the tax will be collected initially at the standard rate, as per Minnesota Statutes, and then refunded in accordance with existing provisions for similar projects.
