Modifies provisions of the diaper bank tax credit and authorizes a sales tax exemption for the purchase of diapers, feminine hygiene products, & incontinence products
This bill modifies the state's diaper bank tax credit program and introduces a sales tax exemption for diapers, feminine hygiene products, and incontinence supplies. Under the new provisions, taxpayers can claim a tax credit equal to fifty percent of their donations to nonprofit diaper banks that meet specific criteria, such as distributing products through schools and healthcare facilities. The bill also establishes a sales tax exemption for the purchase of these essential hygiene items, aiming to reduce financial barriers for families. Additionally, it sets a cumulative limit of $500,000 on the total tax credits available each year and requires the Department of Social Services to oversee which organizations qualify as diaper banks.
