Wyuka Cemetery sales tax exemption approved

A bill approved by the Legislature May 18 exempts Wyuka Cemetery from sales and use tax.

LB252, introduced by Bellevue Sen. Abbie Cornett, also designates the state Auditor of Public Accounts as the state official who receives itemized reports of receipts and expenditures incurred by the Wyuka Cemetery board of trustees for the management of the cemetery. The bill changes the deadline for such reports from the second Tuesday in March to the second Tuesday in June.

Lawmakers voted 42-4 on final reading to approve LB252.
