Authorizes a reduced sales tax for the purchase of diapers, incontinence products, feminine hygiene products, and certain vitamins
HB 483 would lower the sales tax rate on specific personal care items to match the rate applied to food. It directly affects consumers purchasing diapers, incontinence products, feminine hygiene products (like tampons and pads), and vitamins/minerals supporting prenatal or menstrual health. The bill requires retailers to charge the reduced tax rate - typically lower than standard sales tax - on these designated products. This policy change aims to reduce costs for households buying essential health and hygiene items.
