Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This joint resolution states the sense of Congress that States should create "Veterans Tax Relief" sales tax holidays timed with Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day. It describes these as three-day breaks from State sales taxes on consumer purchases for veterans, active-duty service members, Reserves, and National Guard members. Participation by States would be voluntary, and the resolution does not create new Federal spending or require any State to act.
