Second Read and Referred S Economic and Workforce Development Committee
Summary
The bill would eliminate the 1% state sales tax on retail food purchases, except for prepared foods sold by restaurants and similar establishments. It defines "food" as items eligible for food stamps and vending‑machine sales, but excludes meals prepared for immediate consumption when such sales dominate a business’s revenue. Local sales taxes would still apply.
