Summary

The bill creates a temporary state‑level sales tax exemption for non‑prescription drugs, meaning retailers won’t collect state sales tax on these items and the tax revenue is forgone. It applies only to the state tax, not to any county, city, or district taxes, and the exemption ends on January 1, 2032. The goal is to give prescription and over‑the‑counter medicines the same tax treatment.
