Bill > H2574

This bill proposes changes to Massachusetts General Laws chapter 64H, section 6, subsection (h), which deals with sales tax exemptions for food. Specifically, it clarifies that "food" for sales tax purposes includes items like whole grain cereals, vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and seeds, but it explicitly excludes alcoholic beverages (except as otherwise provided), medicines, and dietary supplements. The bill also removes language that would have exempted "food products" from sales tax, thereby narrowing the scope of what is considered tax-exempt food and potentially making certain items previously exempt subject to sales tax.
