Summary
The bill would end Missouri’s state sales and use tax on retail food purchases starting in 2027, after a one‑percent tax that runs through the end of 2026. It applies only to foods that can be bought with SNAP benefits and to vending‑machine sales, while restaurant‑style prepared foods remain taxed. Local sales taxes would still be collected on food.
