2A Holiday sales tax holiday created; to exempt certain items from sales tax from the period between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July
HB 277 creates an annual "2A Sales Tax Holiday" from Memorial Day to July 4, exempting sales tax on ammunition, firearms (including shotguns and handguns), and specific hunting supplies like gear, apparel, and equipment. This directly affects consumers purchasing these items during the holiday period, making those purchases tax-free at the state level. Local counties or municipalities may choose to opt in and extend the tax exemption to their local sales taxes by adopting a resolution 90 days in advance. The bill excludes items like animal feed, ATVs, and airboats from the exemption.
