BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A New Orleans area lawmaker is proposing a state “sales tax holiday” for gun purchases one weekend each year.
Rep. Cameron Henry, a Republican from Jefferson, is calling his bill the “Second Amendment Recognition Act.”
Lawmakers will consider the idea in the regular legislative session that begins April 27.
There are no formal projections yet on what Henry’s bill could cost the state in lost tax sales revenue. The proposed sales tax holiday for guns would be annually on the Friday through Sunday after Thanksgiving.
