Taxes, Exemption and Credits - As introduced, exempts the retail sale of food and food ingredients purchased with an EBT card by a recipient of SNAP benefits from the sales and use tax. - Amends TCA Title 67, Chapter 6.

HB 1469 would have exempted food and food ingredients purchased with an EBT card by SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) beneficiaries from Tennessee's 4% sales tax. The bill directly affected SNAP recipients by eliminating tax on their grocery purchases made using electronic benefits. Key provisions included amending state tax law to exempt these specific transactions while maintaining the 4% tax on other food sales. The bill was withdrawn on January 21, 2026, and never became law, so it has no current effect.
