SB 1239 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Authorizes a sales tax exemption for food

SB 1239 would exempt food items from state sales tax if passed. This would directly benefit consumers purchasing groceries and prepared food, as they would no longer pay sales tax on these items. The bill's key provision is a simple change to tax law removing sales tax from eligible food products. The bill is currently in early stages (prefiled and first reading) and has not yet become law.
