What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, for the two-day period beginning on the first Saturday in

August and ending on the following Sunday, the sales of the following items are

exempt from the sales and use tax:

1. An item of clothing, not including clothing accessories, if the sales price of

any single item is no more than $75.

2. A computer purchased by the consumer for the consumer's personal use, if

the sales price of the computer is no more than $750.

3. School computer supplies, if the sales price of any single item is no more than

$250.

4. School supplies, if the sales price of any single item is no more than $75.

The bill provides, however, that the exemption does not apply after 2018.

Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be

referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed

as an appendix to the bill.
