The exemption would apply to items eligible for the current sales tax holiday for energy-efficient products. A person requesting the exemption would be required to present a Lone Star Card issued by the Health and Human Services Commission as proof the person is receiving TANF or food stamp services. The bill would take effect July 1, 2009, assuming that it received the requisite two-thirds majority votes in both houses of the Legislature. Otherwise, it would take effect October 1, 2009. Methodology Data on the number of households receiving TANF or food stamp services were gathered from the Health and Human Services Commission. Expenditures for energy-efficient products by households receiving these services were estimated based on data gathered from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Expenditures were multiplied by the state sales tax rate; adjusted for potential effective dates of July 1, 2009 and October 1, 2009; and extrapolated through fiscal 2014. Fiscal implications on units of local government were estimated proportionally. Local Government Impact Local government entities would have a proportional loss of sales tax revenue under provisions of the bill as reflected in the above table.
