School supplies would be exempt from the sales tax if purchased for use by a student in a public or private elementary or secondary school, had a sale price of less than $100, and were purchased during the three-day sales tax holiday on clothing and footwear each August. The bill would take effect July 1, 2009, assuming that it received the requisite two-thirds majority votes in both houses of the Legislature. Otherwise, it would take effect October 1, 2009. Methodology Data on the sale of school supplies were obtained from the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The data were adjusted for the appropriate price range and time period, multiplied by the state sales tax rate, adjusted for the potential effective dates of July 1, 2009 and October 1, 2009, and extrapolated through fiscal 2014. Local Government Impact There would be a proportional loss of sales tax revenue to units of local government. There would be no impact on local governments in the first year of implementation as August sales tax collections remitted to the Comptroller will not be allocated to the local jurisdictions until the following fiscal year.
