Home Hardening ProductsMiami-Dade

Would have let Florida homeowners get a sales tax refund on products used to strengthen their homes against hurricane damage — things like impact-resistant windows, doors, and roof materials. Buyers would apply to the Department of Revenue for the refund after purchase. The bill died before becoming law.
