Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would create a yearly three-day tax holiday on the first weekend of August, during which shoppers would not pay Kentucky sales tax on certain items. The tax-free items would include clothing, diapers, school supplies, school art supplies, computers, and menstrual products. Because the holiday falls before the school year begins, it is timed to help families save money on back-to-school purchases. Who it may affect: parents and caregivers shopping for school-aged children, and any Kentuckian purchasing the listed items during the holiday weekend.
