HB37 would exempt Talladega County food pantries that distribute food for charitable purposes from all state, county, and municipal sales and use taxes, under specified conditions.
If enacted, the bill would exempt Talladega County food pantries from state, county, and municipal sales and use taxes on purchases and distributions of food and related items used for charitable purposes. To qualify, a pantry must have 501(c)(3) status and must not pay salaries or reimburse any person for duties related to its charitable operations. It defines a food pantry as a charitable nonprofit that distributes food without charge for charitable purposes and repeals conflicting laws. The exemption would take effect on the first day of the third month after the bill becomes law.
