Authorizes a state sales tax exemption for the purchase of diapers, incontinence products, and feminine hygiene products
HB 955 exempts diapers, incontinence products, and feminine hygiene products from state sales tax starting January 1, 2026. It directly affects consumers who purchase these essential items, including parents of young children, individuals managing incontinence, and people using menstrual products. The bill defines "diapers" as absorbent garments for infants or those with bladder/bowel control issues, "feminine hygiene products" as items managing menstrual flow (like pads and tampons), and "incontinence products" as items for urinary hygiene. This policy change removes the state sales tax burden on these specific products but does not apply to local sales taxes.
