| This bill requires business equipment tax reimbursement, BETR, |
for property owned by a lessor to be distributed to a lessee if |
the lessee has reimbursed the lessor for those taxes. The bill |
also eliminates BETR reimbursement with respect to facilities |
that have permanently ceased operations and have not publicly |
advertised that the facility is for sale or lease and requires |
the Bureau of Revenue Services within the Department of |
Administrative and Financial Services to develop and distribute |
information describing the availability of the BETR program. |
