An Act for Better Education.
SB 621 reinstates a temporary sales tax exemption for school supplies in North Carolina, effective July 1, 2025. The bill reenacts G.S. 105-164.13C, which exempts qualifying items like notebooks, pens, and backpacks from state sales tax during a designated period each year. This directly affects families purchasing school supplies for children, reducing their out-of-pocket costs. The policy change is limited to tax relief for specific items and does not alter education funding or curriculum.
