Barrington Seeks Sales Tax Holiday Expansion

Senator Don Barrington, R-Lawton, said today he is authoring Senate Bill 723 that will expand his successful Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday to include school supplies and reference materials.
Under the current law, created by Barrington’s Senate Bill 861 in 2007, clothing and shoes valued at less than $100 can be purchased free of sales tax during the first weekend in August. Barrington introduced Senate Bill 861, which passed the Legislature with bipartisan support and received the governor’s signature, after years of failed attempts by other legislators.
