LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Back-to-school shoppers could save some money in Nebraska if a bill in the Legislature becomes law.

Sen. Rick Kolowski of Omaha, a former high school principal, introduced a measure Thursday that would create a sales-tax-free weekend each year during the first weekend in August.

The bill would exempt clothing, school supplies and computers and computer accessories priced at less than $750.

The Washington-based Tax Foundation says 18 states offered sales tax holidays last year, including Nebraska’s neighboring states of Iowa and Missouri.
