MINOR

This bill version was amended after committee review to clarify definitions and formatting. The main substantive change is narrowing the definition of items subject to the surcharge from all 'items' to specifically 'items of tangible personal property', which limits the tax's application to physical goods rather than digital items or services.

Scope change

The bill's scope was narrowed to apply only to tangible personal property instead of all items purchased online.

DEFINITION

Changed the definition of 'online delivery sale' to specify it must involve 'tangible personal property' rather than just 'any item', excluding digital goods and services from the surcharge.

Removed 'combination of individuals' from the definition of 'Person' to simplify the list of entities subject to the tax.

TECHNICAL

Updated bill numbering and formatting throughout the document to reflect committee amendments and renumbering of sections.
