What’s in it

This bill exempts from the state sales and use tax the purchase price of emergency generators used for power outages or natural disasters. The bill defines “emergency generator” to mean a stationary combustion device for only residential property use, such as a reciprocating internal combustion engine or turbine that serves solely as a secondary source of mechanical or electrical power whenever the primary energy supply is disrupted or discontinued during power outages or natural disasters that are beyond the control of the owner of the generator. By operation of Code section 423.6, an item exempt from the imposition of the sales tax is also exempt from the use tax imposed in Code section 423.5.
