HB 3248 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Authorizes a sales tax exemption for supplies needed to care for infants

HB 3248 proposes to create a sales tax exemption in Missouri for supplies specifically needed to care for infants. The bill would allow parents and caregivers to purchase items such as diapers, formula, and other essential baby care products without paying state sales tax. This change would directly affect families with infants by reducing the cost of raising a baby. The legislation modifies existing sales tax laws to include these infant care supplies in the list of exempt items, similar to how other essential goods are currently treated.
