Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill creates a sales and use tax exemption for firearms, including accessories, attachments and parts; bows and arrows for archery and crossbows, including accessories; and ammunition that are sold on July 4 and during the third week of December.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed as an appendix to the bill.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
