This bill would exempt home security systems from the state’s 6.25 percent sales tax.

“[The} bill provides a sales tax exemption for residential security systems and related equipment, such as wiring devices and appliances used for access control, surveillance and alarm systems,” said sponsor Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “This bill incentivizes and encourages homeowners to more affordably protect their most valuable investment—their homes.”
