AN ACT EXEMPTING CERTAIN ARTICLES OF CHILDREN'S CLOTHING FROM THE SALES AND USE TAXES.
HB 5021 exempts from state sales and use taxes any children's clothing costing less than $100. This directly affects parents, caregivers, and retailers who sell such clothing within the state. The bill modifies existing tax law to remove the tax burden on qualifying items, including standard children's apparel like shirts, pants, and dresses. It does not apply to clothing over $100 or non-clothing items, and the change takes effect upon enactment.
