Football fans who purchase tickets to a Super Bowl in Atlanta would not have to pay sales tax under legislation the Georgia House approved Friday.
The House voted 127-22 to approve House Bill 951, which exempts the sales tax from any future Super Bowl, World Series or other major non-recurring sporting event that comes to Georgia.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Chad Nimmer, R-Blackshear, also includes another year’s worth of sales tax holiday weekends for school supplies and energy-efficient employees.
