SF3038

Purpose of the Bill

The bill aims to amend Minnesota's transportation law specifically to update the guidelines regarding which transactions are exempt from the retail delivery fee. This is to ensure clarity and efficiency in the application of the retail delivery fee within the state.

Main Provisions

• The bill outlines specific scenarios in which a retail delivery is exempt from the imposed delivery fee as described in Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 168E.05, subdivision 1.
• The exemptions cover deliveries to tax-exempt purchasers, deliveries on permitted motor vehicles, and deliveries of certain goods like food, drugs, medical devices, baby products, and now, aggregate materials.

Significant Changes

• A new provision has been added to explicitly exclude the delivery of aggregate materials (i.e., sand, gravel, crushed stone) from the retail delivery fee, provided these materials are subject to the sales tax under section 297A.61, subdivision 3.
