| Would be subject to local excise tax on energy |
| This bill adds certain cement mixers and 40 percent of the fuel purchased to the list of property qualifying for the sales tax exemption on energy used in manufacturing. The industry argues that they should qualify for the exemption because their trucks manufacture concrete while in route to the job site. |
