What’s in it

This bill modifies the sales tax holiday. The bill adds the purchase of emergency preparedness supplies to the existing sales tax holiday for clothing. As with an article of clothing, an emergency preparedness supply item must be under $100 to qualify for the sales tax holiday, except for generators and other specified items which qualify if the sales price does not exceed $5,000. The bill limits the purchase of a portable or permanent generator to one such item per household per sales tax holiday period.

Read the full explanation

The bill defines “emergency preparedness supplies” to mean a collection of basic household items needed in the event of an emergency and includes a list of the items. The bill lengthens the sales tax holiday from the period beginning on the first Friday of August and ending at midnight the following Saturday to the period beginning on the first Friday of August and ending at midnight on the following Sunday.
