STATE HOUSE — For the second year in a row, Rep. Joseph J. Solomon Jr. (D-Dist. 22, Warwick) has filed legislation to establish a sales tax holiday — this time for the weekend of Aug. 12-13, 2017.

The tax holiday, designed to give local business an economic boost, means no excise or sales taxes would be collected on sales of tangible personal property.
