| 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. |
