Legislature passes bill to make airports tax exempt

The Alabama House of Representatives Thursday passed a bill that would exempt airports from sales and use taxation.

Senate Bill 11 is sponsored by Sen. Sam Givhan, R-Huntsville. The legislation was carried on the House floor by state Rep. Rex Reynolds, R-Decatur.

Reynolds explained that airports had long been tax-exempt, but an administrative error had resulted in the airports potentially losing that tax exemption. This legislation corrects that.

Reynolds asked the body to accept an amendment by the House Ways & Means Education Committee to make this bill exactly like the version that the House had already passed.
