Fla. schedules tax holiday for hurricane supplies

With Hurricane season just around the corner Governor Rick Scott signed House Bill 5601 and save families more than $ 121 Million dollars in taxes over a nine day tax holiday period for hurricane supplies. “Hurricane season begins June 1, and Florida families need to get a plan,” Scott said. “While we always hope for the best, Florida families need to be prepared for anything. Everyone should have a family disaster kit with supplies and medications, be prepared to evacuate if advised to do so by emergency management officials, know your evacuation route and where you can take your pets if you have to shelter, and have all of your important documents and cash together to take with you.”
