Just because the Legislature seems poised to fix a number of unintended consequences from the first special session in regard to the temporary suspension of sales tax exemptions, that doesn’t mean groups like the Girl Scouts are off the hook for paying the additional tax.

Money would have to paid from April 1 to the effective date of the legislation lawmakers are expected to pass in the special session that convenes Monday.
