What’s in it

This bill modifies the sales tax holiday. The bill adds the purchase of disaster preparedness supplies to the existing sales tax holiday for clothing. The bill defines “disaster preparedness supplies” to mean items that may be used in preparation or response to a disaster and means general supplies, fastening supplies, food-related supplies, and safety supplies. The bill further defines “general supplies”, “fastening supplies”, “food-related supplies”, and “safety supplies”. As with an article of clothing, a disaster preparedness supply item must be under $100 to qualify for the sales tax holiday, except general supplies and fastening supplies which qualify if the sales price does not exceed $5,000.
