HB 4972 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Sales tax: exemptions; sale of baby diapers; exempt. Amends sec. 4a of 1933 PA 167 (MCL 205.54a).

HB 4972 adds baby diapers to Michigan's list of sales tax-exempt items under the General Sales Tax Act (MCL 205.54a). The bill specifically exempts the sale of tangible personal property (like diapers) from sales tax when sold to consumers. This change directly affects retailers selling diapers and consumers purchasing them, as they will no longer pay state sales tax on these items. The exemption aligns with existing tax rules for certain essential goods but specifically targets diapers as a new category. The bill amends Section 4a(1)(a) of the General Sales Tax Act to include this provision.
