Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday signed a bill temporarily establishing several statewide tax-free periods on items like back-to-school products and storm supplies.

While the tax-free periods are an annual legislative tradition in Florida, this year’s bill includes, for the first time, a so-called “Freedom Week” from July 1 to 7, when the state will drop taxes on some recreational products and tickets to museums and events.
