Taxation; to eliminate the sales tax on food over a four year period

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill would gradually lower the state sales and use tax on food by half a percent each year, starting September 1, 2026, until food becomes fully exempt from state sales and use tax on September 1, 2029. It also allows counties and cities to create their own local exemptions for food from sales and use tax. This would reduce the cost of food for consumers across the state.
