AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to exempt from state sales and use tax the retail sale of food and food ingredients that are eligible for purchase using vouchers from the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), a federal program designed to provide nutritional support to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum individuals, 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 certain conditions.
