GROCERY TAX -- Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to exempt the sale of certain food items from sales tax, to repeal the grocery tax credit, and to increase sales tax distribution to local governments.

GROCERY TAX

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This legislation repeals the sales tax on food sold for human consumption, using the definition of food products provided under the Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), excluding prepared food. To offset the reduction in sales tax revenue sharing amount to local units of government, the bill increases the revenue sharing percentage to those government units by the amount to keep them whole. The bill removes the tax credit associated to food purchases of $155 for individual taxpayers ($250 for itemizing).
