Sales tax; exempt certain retail sales of electronic devices/educational software and sales of feminine hygiene products.

HB 168 exempts certain retail sales from Mississippi's sales tax: (1) electronic devices and educational software sold during the last weekend in July, and (2) all sales of feminine hygiene products year-round. The bill adds these categories to Mississippi's existing sales tax exemptions under Section 27-65-111 of the Mississippi Code. This directly affects retailers selling these items and consumers purchasing them during the specified July weekend or for feminine hygiene products generally. The policy change removes sales tax liability for these specific transactions without altering other tax classifications.
