Alabama Lawmakers Push Grocery Tax Exemption

Alabama lawmakers propose a new bill to eliminate the states two percent sales tax on groceries, aiming to alleviate financial burdens for families grappling with escalating costs. The measure, House Bill three thirty-six, would fully exempt food from the state sales and use tax starting September first, two thousand twenty-six. Local governments could retain their own taxes on food, but with the option to reduce or eliminate them via local votes. The proposal is part of a broader discussion on taxes and priorities at the state house, with supporters hoping it gains traction to benefit everyday Alabamians.
