Mid October tax holiday on firearm and firearm accessories purchases

[ti.ssue]

Does anyone know more about SB 344 that was passed this summer to allow tax exemption for firearms related purchases in GA for 11 days starting second week of October?

No news, no threads, no LGS ads about this, but I think it’s a big deal.

Georgia SB344 | 2023-2024 | Regular Session

“Senate Bill 344 exempts firearms, ammunition, gun safes, and related accessories including stocks, barrels, scopes, and magazines from sales and use tax during an 11 day period each year from the second Friday in October through the fourth Monday in October.”

Silly for LGS not to advertise this hard if it’s happening. They lose no profit on each sale and consumers are incentivized to spend.

This thread on Reddit reports that the language was changed last minute to be a tax exemption on broadband services instead of firearms. That’s what I’m reading too. https://www.reddit.com/r/GAGuns/s/F7lC5Wo3T7

Looks like the “gut and amend” tactic where a bill is introduced as a placeholder only to be completely different when passed.
This maneuver allows lawmakers to bypass the usual deadlines for bill introductions and amendments, as well as circumvent a public review process that enables stakeholders to testify during committee hearings or express concerns to lawmakers.

So how do the US citizens change this?
