Sales tax; exempt sales of diapers, diaper bags and rash cream and baby wipes, powder and formula.

HB 1519 would have exempted sales of children's diapers, diaper bags, diaper rash cream, baby wipes, baby powder, and baby formula from Mississippi's sales tax. This change would directly affect parents and caregivers purchasing these essential baby products, as well as retailers selling them. The bill amended Mississippi's tax code to add these specific items to the existing list of exempt goods, meaning customers would pay no sales tax on these purchases. The policy change would have taken effect if the bill had been enacted.
