Exempts student organizations from sales taxes on certain prepared foods sold
This bill exempts student organizations from paying sales tax on prepared foods sold during fundraising events, provided total revenue from those sales stays below $250. It applies to foods that are heated, served on-site, or ready-to-eat (prepared by the seller), excluding cafeteria or restaurant operations. The exemption specifically covers school-approved student groups engaged in non-academic activities, such as club fundraisers or events. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
