Raises the annual sales limit for occasional (untaxed) sales of firearms from $3,000 to $6,000 while keeping the same limit for other property, so more private firearm sales become exempt from sales tax.
the individual's total receipts from sales of the individual's tangible personal property in a calendar year do not exceed $3,000 for sales of property not including firearms and do not exceed $6,000 for sales of firearms.

Amends the definition of occasional sale to treat certain private sales of firearms differently from other tangible personal property for sales-and-use-tax purposes, allowing higher untaxed volume specifically for firearms.
"Occasional[deleted: , "occasional] sale" means: ... (E) the sale of tangible personal property by an individual if: ... (iv) the individual's total receipts from sales of the individual's tangible personal property in a calendar year do not exceed $3,000 for sales of property not including firearms and do not exceed $6,000 for sales of firearms.
⚠ Quote could not be matched to the bill text: treat this label with caution
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill only changes sales-and-use tax treatment of certain private firearm sales by raising their occasional-sale threshold to $6,000 (while leaving the $3,000 threshold for other property), which expands the ability to sell firearms without tax consequences. No other tracked topics are substantively addressed.
