The New Jersey State Senate yesterday followed the State Assembly and passed a bill that would eliminate the sales tax on horse boarding, something that has been in the works for a very long time. The Assembly effort was spearheaded by Ronald Dancer (R-Burlington/Middlesex/Monmouth/Ocean) and in the Senate, by Steve Oroho (R-Sussex/Warren/Morris) took the lead.
Stay tuned! Now it awaits the Governor’s signature in order to become law. This is a measure that will help not only struggling horse operations, but also make boarding less expensive for horse owners. The next step is to contact Gov. Phil Murphy and urge him to sign the bill. Numbers count here. Reach him at (609) 292-6000. You can also reach him by email at http://nj.gov/governor/contact/.
