Chairman O’Neal’s opinion of the legislation:

The purpose of HB 189 is to extend a sales tax exemption for the construction of an infantry museum at Fort Benning through 2009.  This bill also broadens the exemption to include all sales of personal property to this museum, rather than just sales of construction materials. The infantry museum at Fort Benning will create jobs and be a major source of tourism revenues for the state.

This bill comes to the House Floor under the Structured Rule.
