Comments –
(I think the definition of integrated electric motors may mean the exemptions basically apply to outboards; HB2486, which would extend the current tax breaks for marine electric motors for another ten years, seems to have a somewhat broader definition.)

Summary –
The bill creates a ten year sales and use tax exemption for any watercraft propulsion system that contains contains a motor, battery, charger, and gear reduction device in a single unit.
