MD HB139

Establishes November 11 (Veterans' Day) as an annual tax-free day in Maryland beginning in 2026, exempting veterans from sales and use tax on purchases under $250

Veterans must provide evidence of eligibility by presenting a valid government-issued identification card or license with a notation indicating veteran status

The original bill set the purchase threshold at $2,000, but amendments reduced it to $250

The original bill granted the Comptroller discretion to suspend the tax-free day, but this provision was removed through amendment

Takes effect July 1, 2026
