Changes the laws regarding the taxation of feminine hygiene products and diapers
HB 633 would change sales tax rules to require that feminine hygiene products (like tampons, pads, and cups) and diapers be taxed at the same rate as food, rather than the standard retail sales tax rate. This applies directly to retailers selling these items and affects consumers who purchase them. The bill defines "feminine hygiene products" broadly and specifies "diapers" as absorbent garments for infants or those with incontinence. The key provision eliminates higher tax rates currently applied to these essential items by aligning them with the lower food tax rate. The bill is currently pending in committee review.
