The 2009 sales tax holiday will begin at 12:01 am, Friday, August 21, and end at midnight, Sunday, August 23.
For the first time, school supplies (under $100) will qualify for a tax exemption. It appears that all the normal school supplies are on the list except for flash drives, baggies and wipes/sanitizer.
As always, most clothing, footwear and backpacks priced under $100 continue to qualify for the exemption.
