Summary

The bill removes the $1,000 minimum price and the Baltimore Convention Center venue requirement for the sales‑and‑use tax exemption on precious‑metal bullion and coins. It applies to any refined bullion or coin whose value is based on the metal itself, but does not cover jewelry or artwork made from precious metal. The change broadens the exemption for dealers and buyers across the state.
