Energy Efficiency Sales Tax Holiday Passes Through the Ways & Means Committee

Posted on February 9, 2022

HB 201 by Representative Dan Daley (D-Coral Springs), passed unanimously in the Ways and Means Committee today. This legislation will offer a sales tax holiday on ENERGY STAR appliances and WaterSense products approved by the United States Department of Energy. The sales tax holiday will be on the weekend following Earth Day (April 22-24, 2022) to assist homeowners in their efforts to conserve water and electricity.

In 2014, the Legislature passed similar legislation; this program not only helped consumers save an estimated $1.6 million at the check-out counter, but it also saved them energy, water, and money on their bills over the long term.

“This legislation will incentivize consumers to support businesses while providing them short-term and long-term savings,” saidRepresentative Daley. “By taking advantage of this sales tax holiday, Floridians can improve their home’s efficiency, which will provide a better outcome for the environment, and will keep more money in their pockets.”
