Exempts sales of bottled water from sales and use taxes
This bill exempts bottled water from sales and use taxes under specific conditions. It temporarily exempts bottled water sold through vending machines for $1.50 or less (coin-only machines) or $2 or less (other payment methods) until May 31, 2025. The bill also permanently adds "bottled water" to the list of tax-exempt items alongside water delivered via pipes. This directly affects retailers selling bottled water in vending machines within these price tiers and their customers.
