TO ADD FIREARM SAFETY DEVICES AND FIREARM STORAGE DEVICES TO THE SALES TAX HOLIDAY; AND TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.

HB 1699 proposed to expand the state's existing sales tax holiday. If enacted, it would have allowed consumers to purchase firearm safety devices and firearm storage devices without paying sales tax during the designated holiday period. This measure aimed to make these specific items, intended for secure firearm storage, temporarily more affordable for individuals.
