Memorials, Public Service - Tennessee's retailers that collect sales taxes for the State -

This resolution honors Tennessee retailers for collecting $14 billion in sales taxes in 2024, recognizing that they bear the cost of credit/debit card processing fees on the tax portion of transactions. It acknowledges that retailers pay these fees for transactions benefiting the state, even though the sales tax itself is remitted to the state. The resolution formally expresses appreciation for retailers' role in efficiently collecting state tax revenue. As a symbolic gesture (not a law), it does not change tax collection procedures or obligations.
