More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to an exemption from sales and use taxes for certain materials used in trapping feral hogs’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill amends the Tax Code to exempt certain materials used in trapping feral hogs from sales and use taxes. The specified exempt traps include box traps, corral traps, or cage traps, along with any tangible personal property used to create these traps. The intent is likely to support efforts to manage feral hog populations by reducing costs associated with trapping them. This change is set to take effect on Sept. 1, 2025, and it does not impact tax liabilities accrued before this date. Current liabilities will be governed by existing laws for tax collection and enforcement.
