Birmingham, AL, October 19, 2026 —
Alabama State Sen. Andrew Jones is set to carry legislation in 2027 to repeal the state’s grocery tax, according to the available information. The proposal would seek to complete a multi-phase reduction process Jones initiated in 2023.
Previous legislative steps have already halved the tax, the summary says. The planned 2027 legislation would seek to eliminate it entirely, taking the reduction effort beyond the steps completed so far.
Details about the proposed bill have not been provided, including its text, when it might be introduced, or how lawmakers would consider it. The available information also does not specify the tax rate before or after the earlier reductions, or the dates those changes took effect.
Jones is identified as the legislation’s planned sponsor, but no other lawmakers, organizations or officials are named in the summary. It does not provide estimates of the proposal’s fiscal effects or details about its prospects in the Legislature. Those points remain unclear based on the information available.
The stated goal is a full repeal of the state grocery tax. Whether the 2027 proposal advances or becomes law has not been specified.
