Illinois House approves full sales tax cut on food
The Illinois House approved a bill to end the state sales tax on medicine and select foods starting Aug 1, with phased removal for fresh produce and all groceries by Aug 1, 1982. The measure, backed by Sen Langmeister and Rep Darrow, would reimburse local governments for lost revenue and may join other relief efforts pending Senate action.
