Reduces the tax on diapers and feminine hygiene products

HB 648 reduces sales tax on diapers and feminine hygiene products by setting their tax rate equal to the rate applied to food. This affects consumers who purchase these items, including parents buying diapers for infants or toddlers, and individuals using feminine hygiene products. The bill achieves this by amending tax law to define these products as taxable at the food rate, using existing definitions for "food" and clarifying the scope of "diapers" and "feminine hygiene products." The change directly lowers costs for buyers of these essential items without altering tax rates for other goods.
