Sales tax; exempt on retail sales of certain electronic devices.
HB 52 would have exempted sales tax on certain electronic devices, educational software, textbooks, and school supplies during the last weekend in July. This exemption would apply only if local authorities (municipalities or county boards) approved it for their area. The bill specifically targets retail sales during that single weekend, not year-round, and requires local authorization before taking effect. It directly affects retailers selling these items and consumers purchasing them during that designated period.
