Bill Summary
As introduced, enacts the "End the Grocery Tax Act." - Amends TCA Title 57 and Title 67.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "End the Grocery Tax Act," aims to eliminate the state sales tax on groceries. It amends Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 67, which deals with taxation, by removing the existing sales tax on food and food ingredients, defining these as items for human consumption. While the state sales tax on groceries will be removed, the bill ensures that counties and municipalities will receive an amount of funding equivalent to what they would have received from this tax, based on reported exempt grocery sales. Additionally, it makes technical adjustments to existing laws, including those related to the allocation of tax revenue and certain licensing requirements for businesses that sell food and beverages, to reflect the removal of the grocery tax. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
