Summary

The bill eliminates counties’ authority to levy the restaurant tax on food, alcoholic beverages, and prepared foods sold at restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores. It substitutes that tax with a levy on other taxable transactions at a rate calculated to generate the same amount of revenue. The change shifts the tax burden away from food purchases while preserving county funding levels.
