Modifies the definition of food to authorize a reduced sales tax on the purchase of dietary and nutritional supplements
HB 1107 changes the definition of "food" for sales tax purposes to include dietary and nutritional supplements, making them eligible for the reduced 1% sales tax rate currently applied to qualifying grocery items. This directly affects businesses selling supplements and consumers purchasing them, as they will now pay the lower tax rate instead of the standard rate. The bill specifies that "food" includes supplements and items covered by federal food stamp benefits, while excluding restaurants and similar establishments where over 80% of revenue comes from prepared food. It does not change the tax rate itself but expands which products qualify for the reduced rate under existing law.

MINOR
The bill was revised from its original introduction to a House Committee Substitute version, updating the bill number from 2361H.01I to 2361H.02C. The most significant substantive change involves redefining how 'food' and 'dietary and nutritional supplements' are defined within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program context, clarifying that dietary supplements follow federal definitions and adjusting the restaurant exemption threshold language.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to explicitly include dietary and nutritional supplements under the SNAP program and refined the definition of establishments exempt from SNAP food sales rules.
DEFINITION
Added a new definition clarifying that 'dietary and nutritional supplements' have the same meaning as 'dietary supplements' under 21 U.S.C. Section 321(ff), expanding what items can be purchased with SNAP benefits.
ELIGIBILITY
Modified the restaurant exemption language to clarify that the 80% gross receipts threshold applies regardless of whether prepared food is consumed on or off the premises, removing the previous 'including but not limited to' language that listed specific establishment types.
TECHNICAL
Updated bill tracking numbers from 2361H.01I to 2361H.02C and changed the document title from 'Introduced' to 'House Committee Substitute' to reflect legislative progress.
