Reorganize Drugs & Medical Devices Sales Tax Exemption

Type Bill
Session 2018 Regular Session
Subjects
Fiscal Policy & Taxes

Concerning the nonsubstantive reorganization of the law exempting from state sales tax certain drugs and medical and therapeutic devices.

Bill Summary:

Sales and use tax - exemption for certain drugs and medical and therapeutic devices - reorganization of statute. Statutory Revision Committee. In order to increase comprehensibility of the law exempting from state sales tax certain drugs and medical and therapeutic devices, the act:

  • Condenses the 5 essentially identical definitions of the term "prescription" in existing law into a single definition;
  • Relocates another defined term within that law so that all definitions are in the same place, which relocation necessitates relettering existing defined terms to maintain alphabetical order; and
  • Makes other adjustments to the existing language by removing the false imperative, removing superfluous verbiage, and updating internal citations to conform to modern drafting format.
    (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
