Kentucky Rep. Beverly Chester-Burton has filed House Bill 175 to establish a yearly sales tax holiday for school‑related purchases. The holiday would run from 12:01 a.m. on the first Friday of August until midnight Sunday, exempting most clothing items up to $200 and other specific items under $3,000. If enacted, the state sales tax would be eliminated on those items during the holiday period.

Effective January 1 2026, unincorporated Boulder County will see a new minimum wage of $16.82 per hour for nontipped workers and $13.80 for tipped workers, while the county’s sales tax rises by 0.15 % to 1.335 %, bringing the combined rate to 6.335 %. The change, approved in a November 2025 election, funds mental‑health services for three years and could lead Niwot to adopt a 2.5 % sales tax if it incorporates.

Arkansas has introduced a Farmers Sales Tax Exemption Card under Act 621 of 2025, allowing farmers to claim sales tax exemptions at the point of sale for items such as animals, chemicals, feed, machinery, and seed. The card costs $20 for issuance, $10 for renewal, and remains valid for eight years.
