An Act to Update the Sales Tax Fairness Credit

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill expands the sales tax exemption for certain grocery staples sold in grocery stores, aiming to lower household costs. It redefines "grocery staples" to include more food products, such as prepared foods like sandwiches and salads, supplemental meal items, fruit and granola bars, nuts and seeds, and meat sticks, when purchased from a grocery store. Items like liquor, water, medicine, candy, desserts, and cannabis products will remain subject to sales tax.
