Gov. Robert Bentley announced a tax-free holiday weekend in Alabama and recommends people take advantage of the tax-free weekend on items like NOAA weather radios, flashlights, and first aid kits.
According to a Wednesday release from the governor’s office, items to be used during emergencies that cost less than $60 are eligible to be tax-free beginning Friday. Also covered are items designed to protect windows such as plywood and duct tape, plastic sheeting, and fuel containers. Power generators which cost less than $1,000 will also be eligible.
