Roberts Plans to Push for Legislative Referendum to Remove Grocery Sales Tax
OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Sean Roberts, R-Hominy, today announced that he plans to continue his push for a referendum to remove Oklahoma's sales tax on groceries.

Roberts previously filed House Bill 2844 last session and will be advocating for its passage again this session.
