House Bill 348 headed to Gov. Haley Barbour's office yesterday for his signature.
If the governor signs the bill into law, parents would get a sales tax exemption for buying back-to-school clothing and shoes from noon on Friday to midnight Saturday on the last weekend in July. The exemption would apply to items costing less than $100.
The bill amends laws already on the books exempting many items from sales tax, including vending machine food, and sales to certain non-profit organizations.
