Exempts eye glasses and contact lenses from sales tax
HB 1465 would exempt eyeglasses and contact lenses from Missouri sales tax, directly affecting consumers who purchase these vision correction items. The bill achieves this by adding these specific products to the list of retail sales that are not subject to state or local sales taxes. This change would reduce the cost of buying glasses and lenses for residents, though it does not alter tax rates for other goods.
