SB 842 - Under current law, in order for a manufacturer to receive an exemption from sales tax for electrical energy used in the primary manufacture of a product, the manufacturer must prove that the total cost of electricity used exceeds ten percent of the total cost of production or that the raw materials used in the primary manufacture of a product contain at least twenty-five percent recovered materials. This act creates a rebuttable presumption that the raw materials used in the primary manufacture of automobiles contain at least twenty-five percent recovered materials. This act is identical to SB 440 (2005). JASON ZAMKUS
