Eligible items include batteries, weather radios, tarps and other critical supplies priced at $60 or less per item. Portable generators priced at $1,000 or less are also exempt from state sales tax during the holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Alabama Department of Revenue Commissioner Vernon Barnett highlighted the financial benefits of the holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThis opportunity comes once a year, and the timing couldn\u2019t be better for Alabama families,\u201d\u00a0said Commissioner Barnett.\u00a0\u201cI encourage Alabamians to utilize this weekend to purchase items necessary to protect yourself and family when severe weather strikes, while saving money at the same time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Alabama Emergency Management Agency Director Jeff Smitherman reinforced the importance of readiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cSevere weather can happen anytime, but preparation\u00a0can make all the difference. This sales tax holiday is the perfect opportunity to gather the necessary supplies\u00a0to keep your\u00a0family safe and weather any storm.
