2 19 dissipated, or depleted, in processing personal property which
2 20 is intended to be sold ultimately at retail or consumed in the
2 21 maintenance or repair of fabric or clothing, and which may not
2 22 become a component or integral part of the finished product.
2 23 The distribution to the public of free newspapers or shoppers

2 35 processing tangible personal property for sale at retail is
3 1 exempt when purchased. Sorbents are such property. This bill
3 2 specifies that sorbents of matter or sorbents of energy are
3 3 both considered property used in processing.
