Proposal would create monthly grocery tax holiday; committee delays for fiscal review
Summary
Representative Brooks proposed House Bill 17‑22 to create a grocery tax holiday on the 5th of every month, including micro‑markets and vending machines; the committee placed the bill behind the budget due to fiscal impact.
Representative Brooks asked the subcommittee for a favorable vote on House Bill 17‑22, which would establish a grocery tax holiday on the 5th day of every month and include micro‑markets and vending machines. He framed the measure as a step to help families and asked members to support the bill.
No committee questions were posed and, because the bill carries a fiscal impact, the chair placed HB 17‑22 behind the budget for further consideration.
