Bill To Eliminate Food Tax Passes House

(Salt Lake City, UT) — A bill that would eliminate Utah’s sales tax on food is on its way to the state Senate. House Bill 101 was approved on a 57-15 vote yesterday. The bill would eliminate the tax on food, but only if Utah voters approve a constitutional amendment that would end a requirement to pay for public education through income tax revenue. A bill proposing a ballot measure on that amendment was passed by a Senate committee yesterday.
