	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1377, as introduced, Strickland. Sales and use tax.
   The Sales and Use Tax Law imposes a tax on retailers measured by
the gross receipts from the sale of tangible personal property sold
at retail in this state, or on the storage, use, or other consumption
in this state of tangible personal property purchased from a
retailer for storage, use, or other consumption in this state. That
law includes as a retail sale, a sale of tangible personal property
to a contractor or subcontractor for use in the performance of
construction contracts with the United States.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
