AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION -- SALES AND USE TAXES -- LIABILITY AND COMPUTATION
SB 2051 amends the state sales and use tax code to exempt reusable bags from taxation. This change directly affects consumers who purchase these bags and retailers who sell them. The bill achieves this by adding a new provision to the list of items exempt from sales tax. It does not alter any other existing tax exemptions or create new tax liabilities.
