  S.B. No. 1214
 
 
 
 
AN ACT
  relating to the sales and use tax exemption for certain aircraft.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 151.328(h), Tax Code, is amended to read
  as follows:
         (h)  For purposes of the exemption under Subsection (a)(5),
  an aircraft is considered to be for use exclusively in connection
  with an agricultural use if 95 percent of the use of the aircraft is
  for a purpose described by Subsections (a)(5)(A)-(F).   Travel [of
  less than 30 miles each way] to a location to perform a service
  described by Subsections (a)(5)(A)-(F) does not disqualify an
  aircraft from the exemption under Subsection (a)(5).  A person who
  claims an exemption under Subsection (a)(5) must maintain and make
  available to the comptroller flight records for all uses of the
  aircraft.
         SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act does not
  affect tax liability accruing before the effective date of this
  Act. That liability continues in effect as if this Act had not been
  enacted, and the former law is continued in effect for the
  collection of taxes due and for civil and criminal enforcement of
  the liability for those taxes.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
