Bill > S1202

This bill creates an annual sales tax holiday for veterans of the United States Armed Forces on November 11. During this holiday, veterans can purchase eligible clothing items, such as articles of wearing apparel and footwear (excluding certain specialty items), with a sales price of $60 or less per item without having to pay sales tax. Veterans must show proof of their military status, such as a military ID or driver's license with a "V" or "Veteran" designation, to be eligible for the tax exemption. Retailers with less than 5% of their prior year's gross sales comprising eligible clothing items can choose not to participate in the sales tax holiday, but must notify the Department of Revenue and post a notice at their place of business. The Department of Revenue is authorized to adopt rules, including emergency rules, to administer the sales tax holiday.
