The bill, S.B. No. 2020, proposes amendments to the Texas Tax Code to exclude real property repair and remodeling services from sales and use taxes. Specifically, it removes the classification of "real property repair and remodeling" from the list of taxable services in Section 151.0101(a) and repeals related sections, including 151.0047 and 151.3501. Additionally, it clarifies that labor to restore tangible personal property is exempt from taxes if the charge is itemized and the restoration occurs in a disaster area.

The bill also makes adjustments to the definitions and provisions related to marketplace sales, ensuring that sales made by marketplace sellers are consummated at the location where the item is delivered or where possession is taken by the purchaser. The changes will take effect on September 1, 2025, and will not affect tax liabilities that accrued before this date, allowing for the continued enforcement of prior tax laws.

Introduced: Tax Code 151.0101, Tax Code 151.350, Tax Code 151.0047 (Tax Code 151)
