Authorizes a sales tax exemption for supplies needed to care for infants
SB 872 would remove sales tax on essential infant care supplies, such as diapers, formula, and baby wipes, directly benefiting parents and caregivers who purchase these items. The bill establishes a specific exemption from state sales tax for qualifying products used in infant care. This policy change would reduce out-of-pocket costs for families buying daily necessities for newborns and young infants. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Economic and Workforce Development Committee.
