Plain-language change summary

The amendments to House Bill 1183 include defining "tariff-affected goods of 2026" as items that have seen a price increase of over 50% due to federal tariff changes in 2025. Additionally, the bill now exempts these tariff-affected items from sales tax for the fiscal year 2026-2027. This change aims to provide financial relief to consumers facing higher prices due to tariffs, making it more affordable for residents to purchase necessary goods during that period.
