Summary
The legislation repeals the additional one‑percent sales and use tax that currently applies to meals sold by eating establishments, caterers, and grocery stores. By eliminating this surcharge, the bill lowers the cost of meals for consumers and reduces the tax burden on food‑service businesses. It is intended to simplify the tax code and make dining more affordable.
