Sales tax; exempt retail sales of groceries on Saturday or Sunday before Thanksgiving.

SB 2810 proposed exempting grocery purchases from Mississippi's state sales tax on the Saturday or Sunday immediately preceding Thanksgiving. This would directly affect grocery shoppers in Mississippi during that specific weekend, eliminating the 7% sales tax on food items like bread, milk, and produce. The bill would have amended Mississippi's tax code to add this temporary exemption to existing grocery tax exemptions. It did not change other tax rules or apply to non-grocery items. (Note: The bill died in committee in February 2025 and was never enacted.)
