Temporary state sales tax relief for veterans. This bill would encourage States to create sales-tax-free weekends that coincide with Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day to give veterans and military families short-term savings and national recognition.
Show full summary
- Veterans and military families: Provides veterans, active duty members, Reservists, and National Guard short sales-tax-free shopping windows on three holiday weekends each year.
- States and tax policy: Keeps participation voluntary and preserves State control over tax rules so each State decides whether to join.
- Communities and recognition: Promotes three yearly national moments to honor service and connect civic holidays to support for those who serve.
*Would not affect federal spending because creating voluntary State tax holidays requires no new federal funds.*
