Tennessee shoppers could soon see some relief at the checkout line. Republican House Speaker Cameron Sexton has filed a bill to eliminate the state’s four percent grocery tax on milk, eggs, and bread. Sexton says he plans to expand the exemption to other healthy food staples—like fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat—rather than cutting taxes on ultra-processed foods. House Democratic Caucus Chair John Ray Clemmons says Democrats support the measure, though they’ll keep pushing for a full repeal of the grocery tax by rolling back corporate tax cuts and the state’s school voucher program. Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn says she wants to audit state spending for potential cuts before promising a broader tax reduction. Lawmakers will take up the issue when the legislative session begins in January.
