Another Tennessee lawmaker is pushing to eliminate the state’s grocery tax. State Rep. Elaine Davis, R-Knoxville, on Thursday introduced a bill that would end the state tax on groceries without raising taxes on businesses, WSMV reports. The proposal would also allow counties to implement a grocery sales tax if approved by local lawmakers. Currently, the state sales tax on food and food ingredients is 4%. State Rep. Aftyn Behn, D-Nashville, refiled a similar measure last month after it failed last year.
