conversion of a qualified public use facility is contingent upon the
passage of this legislation, then the state would forgo an unknown
amount of state sales tax revenue dependent upon the extent of future
taxable sales occurring at the public use facility. Any decreased or
forgone state sales tax revenue would result in a corresponding increase
to local government revenue. Once received by the respective local
