The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 739, seeks to amend chapter 219 of the general statutes regarding the distribution of sales and use taxes on meals sold by eating establishments, caterers, or grocery stores. Specifically, the bill introduces a provision that mandates the additional one percent sales and use tax imposed on these meals to be distributed directly to the municipalities where the revenue is generated.

This change aims to ensure that local governments benefit from the tax revenue collected from meals sold within their jurisdictions, thereby potentially enhancing local funding for services and infrastructure. The bill does not indicate any deletions from current law but focuses solely on the insertion of the new distribution requirement for the additional tax revenue.
