In 2010, we assisted the State Treasurer's Office with the development and implementation of a sales tax exclusion program for green manufacturing equipment that was created by SB 71 of 2010. Specifically, we designed project evaluation criteria, drafted regulations, and assisted with the scoring of applications for the exemption, which is aimed at assisting manufacturers of solar panels, bio fuels, electric cars, and other alternative energy and advanced transportation technologies. The framework we developed has been instrumental to the successful implementation of this program.
