Sales tax; exempt on retail sales of certain electronic devices.

HB 181 exempts retail sales of certain electronic devices, educational software, textbooks, and school supplies from Mississippi's sales tax during the last weekend in July. This applies only to purchases made by consumers during that specific weekend, not year-round. Retailers must first obtain authorization from their local municipality or county board of supervisors before the exemption can take effect in their area. The bill adds these items to Mississippi's existing sales tax exemptions, which currently cover other categories like medical supplies and educational institutions. The exemption is limited to one annual weekend and does not apply to other tax categories.
