SB 258 Kentucky Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to a sales and use tax exemption for diapers.

SB 258 exempts all diapers from Kentucky's sales and use tax. The bill amends state tax law to define "diaper" as an absorbent garment worn by people who cannot control bladder or bowel movements, and removes diapers from the list of taxable items. This directly affects parents, caregivers, and individuals purchasing diapers for infants, toddlers, or adults with incontinence needs by eliminating the tax on these essential products. The key change is a straightforward policy update to the tax code, making diapers tax-free at the point of sale.
