Sales tax exemption; Second Amendment Recognition Act
SECTION 2. A. This section may be cited as the "Second Amendment Recognition Act".
B. Section 12-36-2120 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 116 of 2007, is further amended by adding a new item at the end appropriately numbered to read:
"( ) sales of handguns as defined pursuant to Section 16-23-10(1), rifles, and shotguns during the forty-eight hours of the Second Amendment Weekend. For purposes of this item, the 'Second Amendment Weekend' begins at 12:01 a.m. on the Friday after Thanksgiving and ends at twelve midnight the following Saturday."
C. This section takes effect July 1, 2008.
This bill wasn't even table scraps but rather an idea of someone for votes attached to another bill with much farther reach. The gun tax break didn't even get discussed that I know of but just thrown in with the gasoline blending stuff.
