Madam and Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2402, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to temporarily suspend the general excise and use tax exemptions for certain amounts received by certain persons and, instead, require those persons to pay the applicable tax on those amounts at a one per cent rate.
Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Deleting all provisions that apply to use tax exemptions;
(2) Deleting from the suspension of the general excise tax exemption certain provisions relating to amounts of gross income or proceeds received;
(3) Reducing the required rate of payment of the general excise tax by affected entities from one per cent to one-half of one per cent; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2402, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2402, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
