AI Summary
This bill exempts from state sales and use tax the retail sale of food and food ingredients that are eligible to be purchased with vouchers from the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), a federal program that provides nutritional support to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk. This exemption is intended to make these essential food items more accessible to eligible families, though it clarifies that these items may still be subject to local taxes under a different part of the law.
