***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
AN ACT to create 70.995 (2) (vb) and (vd), 71.07 (5n) (a) 9. d. and 71.28 (5n) (a)
9. d. of the statutes; relating to: standard industrial classification codes for
linen supply and industrial launderers and modifying the manufacturing and
agriculture tax credit.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law uses industry classifications set forth in the Standard Industrial
Classification manual, published by the federal government, for a number of
purposes, including to assess manufacturing property for property tax purposes.
Taxpayers who own property assessed as manufacturing are also eligible to claim
certain income tax credits and sales and use tax exemptions.
This bill adds SIC industry codes for linen supply and industrial launderers
for the purpose of assessing the property of such industries as manufacturing
property. The bill also modifies the definition of Xqualified production propertyY for
purposes of claiming the manufacturing and agriculture tax credit to include items
that are laundered or dry cleaned and sold, leased, or rented to or exchanged with
industrial, commercial, or government users.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
