This bill provides a sales tax exemption for products and services for end user equipment for the construction, ownership, operation, maintenance, and enhancement of the backbone of the Allied Radio Metric for Emergency Response (ARMER) public safety radio system. The ARMER system is a shared network of radio towers, equipment shelters, and radio transmission equipment used by state agencies, local governments, and other emergency responders. Local jurisdictions have received sales tax exemptions as they built their systems to join the backbone network, but a statewide exemption has never been authorized.
Effective for sales and purchases made after June 30, 2013.
