State Representative Fitz Steele, a Democrat who represents Harlan and Perry counties, has pre-filed a bill seeking to create an annual three-day tax holiday that would allow consumers to purchase certain items which would be exempt from Kentucky's 6% sales tax or to purchase certain items via Internet without applying the 6% use tax. The Kentucky General Assembly's 2010 legislative session, which begins in January, will consider the proposal. If passed, the holiday would begin on the first Friday in August and end the following Sunday.
