GROCERY TAX – Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to exempt the sale of certain food items from sales tax, to repeal the grocery tax credit, and to increase sales tax distribution to local governments.

Summary

The measure creates a sales‑and‑use tax exemption for food sold for human consumption, excluding restaurant meals, heated foods, mixed‑ingredient sales, and items sold with utensils. It also repeals the existing grocery tax credit and revises the state’s sales‑tax revenue‑sharing formula, allocating funds to counties for election‑related costs and to cities through a new revenue‑sharing account. The goal is to lower grocery costs for consumers while boosting local‑government funding.
