Eliminates sales tax on baby necessities and sunscreen.

This bill eliminates New Jersey's sales tax on specific baby products and sunscreen.

It also exempts FDA-regulated sunscreen (lotion, cream, spray, or gel for UV protection) but excludes cosmetic products like sunscreens marketed for beautification. The exemption applies to retail sales starting October 1, 2025, directly affecting parents and caregivers purchasing these items for infants and young children.
