SUMMARY
This amendment, which is the minority report, clarifies the definition of “retirement facility” and removes the credit for meals served in retirement facilities that would be available to certain retirement facilities that would have to pay sales tax or interest or penalties as the result of an audit. It changes the effective date to August 1, 2010. It also adds a contingent effective date in order to avoid a technical conflict with another law.
