Modifies the definition of food to authorize a reduced sales tax on the purchase of dietary and nutritional supplements
HB 3151 modifies the state's tax code by expanding the definition of "food" to include dietary and nutritional supplements, making them eligible for the 1% sales tax rate instead of the standard higher rate. This directly affects consumers purchasing supplements (like vitamins or protein powders) and businesses selling them, as they would pay the reduced tax rate. The bill specifies that "dietary and nutritional supplements" follow the federal definition under 21 U.S.C. § 321(ff), and clarifies that this exemption does not apply to restaurants or food establishments where more than 80% of revenue comes from prepared meals. The change applies to all sales of these supplements, regardless of where they are purchased.
