The Florida House has approved a three day Back-to-School sales tax holiday slated for August 13th to August 15th during which books, clothes, shoes, and book bags under $50, and school supplies under $120, will be exempt from sales tax.

On 18 March 2010, the Idaho House Revenue and Taxation Committee voted 9-9 against sending representatives to participate in discussions for the Streamlined Sales Tax Project.  After being presented with the many changes to the current state sales and use tax laws that would be required to belong to the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, the committee voted in a tie, which kills any bill.  The changes would have included levying an “Amazon” tax, reimbursing retailers who collect sales tax, and about 36 other changes to Idaho’s current sales tax laws.

On 29 March 2010, Governor Mitch Daniels signed the state budget, effective 1 July 2010, which amends the sales and use tax laws to comply with the requirements of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA).  Some of the changes consist of eliminating the Indiana tax rate brackets, and adding or amending definitions, for example, the definition of “retail merchant” is expanded to include anyone entering into a computer software maintenance contract.

The Missouri Senate passed legislation that would allow voters in Jackson, Clay, Platte, and Cass counties decide whether to establish a sales tax up to one-quarter percent to support the Kansas City Zoo.
