Groceries; exempt from state sales tax, and authorize municipalities to levy sales tax at lower rate.

SB 2570 exempts from Mississippi's state sales tax grocery items eligible for purchase with federal food stamps (like SNAP benefits). This directly affects low-income households using food stamps, as they would pay no state tax on qualifying groceries. The bill also allows municipalities to impose a separate 1% local tax on the *same* food items - but only when purchased *without* food stamps, giving cities flexibility to choose between a resolution or public vote to implement it. Municipalities can adjust or remove this local tax using the same process.
