summary
This amendment changes the bill by expanding the current exemption from sales and use tax for aircraft purchased or leased by a nonresident and immediately transported out of the State and for certain other specifically designated aircraft to include sales and leases of all aircraft by a person, regardless of the type of aircraft or the state of residency of the purchaser. The amendment also expands the exemption to include sales of repair and replacement parts used exclusively in aircraft and in the overhauling and rebuilding of aircraft. It retains the bill's original provision to amend the existing sales, storage and use tax exemption for an aircraft purchased outside of the State by a nonresident by removing limitations on the use of the aircraft in this State during the 12 months following purchase.
