Bill > SB115

This bill amends Georgia's sales tax code to modify the annual tax-free period for clothing and school-related supplies. Specifically, the bill shifts the existing tax exemption from a period around late July (previously July 30-31, 2016) to a week in early August (August 7-13 each year). By establishing this annual week-long period, the legislation aims to provide Georgia residents with a tax break when purchasing back-to-school items, making these essential supplies more affordable for families. The change will allow consumers to buy clothing and school-related supplies without paying sales tax during the specified timeframe, which is likely intended to help parents and students prepare for the upcoming school year with reduced financial burden.
