          Summary: SB 898 would provide a sales and use tax (SUT)  
          exemption for the sale of animal blood.


          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                      adopted by the committee on May 27, 2016




          Fiscal  
          Impact: This bill would result in an annual revenue loss of less  
          than $150,000, half of which would be General Fund. The  
          remainder of the reduction would impact local governments.  
          Additionally, the Board of Equalization would incur minor and  
          absorbable implementation costs.


          Author  
          Amendments: Provide the SUT exemption to nonprofit animal  
          bloodbanks only.
