AI Summary
This bill creates an annual sales tax holiday for veterans of the United States Armed Forces. The sales tax holiday is from 12:01 a.m. on November 1 through 11:59 p.m. on December 31, during which veterans can purchase certain items tax-free, including clothing, personal computers, books, sports and recreational equipment, televisions, and game tables and billiard tables. To be eligible, veterans must show proof of their military status at the time of purchase. The bill also allows for tax-exempt layaway and mail-order sales during the holiday period, and permits exchanges of tax-exempt items after the holiday period without incurring additional tax. The Department of Revenue is authorized to adopt emergency rules to administer the sales tax holiday, which is set to expire on June 30, 2018.
