The bill would amend the General Sales Tax Act to exempt from the tax sales of food or candy, chewing gum, and toys or other items designed primarily to be used or played with by children, if sold through a coin-operated "bulk vending machine" and if the consideration paid were 50 cents or less. A "bulk vending machine" would be a vending machine that contained unsorted items that, upon insertion of a coin, dispensed items in approximately equal portions at random and without selection by the customer.
