AI Generated Summary

Senate File No. 1306 is a legislative bill proposed in Minnesota that aims to provide tax exemptions for certain building materials. These materials are to be used specifically for the construction of a county government center in Foley, Benton County. The bill states that any eligible materials, supplies, and equipment purchased between April 1, 2025, and December 31, 2029, will be exempt from the usual sales and use taxes.

Under this bill, taxes will initially be collected on these purchases as usual but will be refunded later. This refund process is similar to that used for other specific projects described under a different section of Minnesota's tax law. The refunds for these purchases will start being issued only after June 30, 2025. Additionally, the money required to cover these tax refunds will come from Minnesota’s general fund and be managed by the commissioner of revenue.
