New Jersey’s 10-day sales tax holiday is now in effect

This initiative comes in response to a growing recognition of the importance of addressing mental health issues, including grief, among students.

New Jersey officials tout that a sales tax holiday for back-to-school will benefit families. Experts are slightly more muted on how it will play out in practice.

Full floor votes are set in the Senate and Assembly Monday – less than a week after the bill was introduced and 1 ½ years since the last programs elapsed.
