Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to taxation; sales and use; providing a temporary sales tax holiday on school supplies.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a temporary sales tax holiday for certain school supplies in Minnesota during a specific timeframe from August 12-18, 2025. During this period, consumers will be exempt from paying sales tax on book bags priced at $60 or less and school supplies priced at $15 or less per item. The bill provides a comprehensive definition of "school supplies," which includes a wide range of items such as binders, calculators, pencils, notebooks, rulers, scissors, and other common school-related products. The goal of this tax holiday appears to be to help families save money on back-to-school purchases by temporarily removing sales tax on essential school items. The bill specifies that the tax exemption will apply to retail sales during the designated period, and it will become effective the day after it is finally enacted by the Minnesota legislature.
