AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 67, Chapter 6, which governs sales and use taxes, to exempt the retail sale of fresh fruits and vegetables intended for human consumption from the state's food retail sales tax. Currently, most food and food ingredients sold at retail are taxed at a rate of four percent (4%), but this new provision carves out an exception specifically for fresh produce, meaning consumers will no longer pay sales tax on these items when purchased at a retail establishment. This change is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
