SB 6243: Residential laundry/sales tx

Repealing the sales tax on residential laundry facilities.

Summary

Charges made for the use of coin-operated laundry facilities in an apartment house, rooming house, or mobile home park for the exclusive use of the tenants thereof is removed from the definition of retail sale. As a result of this change, these activities are no longer subject to the retail sales and use tax, and the B&O tax classification changes from retailing to service.
