HB 425 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Taxation, Sleep in Heavenly Peace Inc., exempt from sales and use tax

HB 425 exempts Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Inc. from paying state sales and use taxes for three years, from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. It also allows local counties and municipalities to optionally grant the same exemption for local sales and use taxes if they approve it under existing rules. The bill directly affects only this specific nonprofit organization, providing targeted tax relief for a limited period. This is a narrow, entity-specific exemption rather than a broad tax policy change. The exemption would take effect on September 1, 2026, and expires after the three-year period.
