Gov. Bill Lee announced a proposal for a 30-day suspension on state and local grocery sales tax as inflation rates continue to soar across the nation.
Lee announced the move in news release from early Thursday morning.
“As Americans see their cost-of-living skyrocket amid historic inflation, suspending the grocery tax is the most effective way to provide direct relief to every Tennessean,” Lee said in the release. “Our state has the ability to put dollars back in the pockets of hardworking Tennesseans, and I thank members of the General Assembly for their continued partnership in maintaining our fiscally conservative approach.”
