HB 2250 -- Show-Me Green Tax Holiday Act

Sponsor:  Sutherland

This bill establishes the Show-Me Green Tax Holiday Act which,
beginning January 1, 2008, authorizes a state sales and use tax
exemption on the purchase of energy efficient products costing
$1,500 or less, purchased for personal use during a seven-day
period each November.  Retailers with less than 2% of their sales
for qualifying merchandise during the holiday may offer a sales
tax refund in lieu of the sales tax holiday.  Any political
subdivision may adopt an ordinance or order to opt out of the
holiday.  Energy efficient products include dishwashers,
refrigerators, washers, dryers, air conditioners, furnaces, water
heaters, ceiling fans, light bulbs, dehumidifiers, and
programmable thermostats that meet or exceed the requirements of
the federal Energy Star Program.
