Bill Analysis

HB 2510 would make the sale of an animal by a nonprofit animal welfare organization exempt from taxation. 

Vote Recommendation Notes

Currently, nonprofit animal shelters do not charge sales tax on the fee to adopt an animal. HB 2510 would expand this provision to include nonprofit animal welfare organizations. Texas Action is neutral on  HB 2510.
