What’s in it
AI summary People who need special equipment to drive or travel in a vehicle would no longer have to pay state sales tax on those items. This tax break covers things like wheelchair lifts, hand controls, and power door openers. The savings apply to both the equipment itself and the service of installing it in a vehicle used by someone with a disability.1
Read the official explanation
This bill exempts from the state sales and use tax the sales price of adaptive driving equipment sold or adaptive driving equipment services furnished for installation in a motor vehicle. The bill defines “adaptive driving equipment” to mean platform wheelchair lifts, under-vehicle lifts, power door openers, lowered floors, raised roofs, raised doors, hand controls, left foot gas pedals, reduced-effort and zero-effort steering and braking, and digital driving systems. Under the bill, adaptive driving equipment sold or adaptive driving equipment installation services furnished are exempt from the sales and use tax if such equipment is sold and services furnished are sold or furnished for the installation in a motor vehicle used primarily by a person unable to drive or be transported without such equipment installed in the motor vehicle.
