Idaho legislator proposes raising grocery tax credit to aid family food budgets.

Idaho House Majority Leader Jason Monks has introduced House Bill 61, proposing an increase in the state's grocery tax credit from $120 to $155 per year. This would help cover about $10,033 in groceries annually for a family of four. The bill, which maintains the sales tax on groceries to preserve revenue from tourists, also affects seniors who currently receive a larger credit. The bill has been approved for a full public hearing by the House Revenue and Taxation Committee.
