Exempting permanently from the sales and use tax purchases of products for young children.
SB 5341 permanently exempts from Washington state sales and use tax products specifically designed for infants and children under age five. This includes items like diapers, baby bottles, car seats, strollers, and toys labeled for young children, as defined in the bill. The law removes tax applicability for these products under Washington’s tax code, directly affecting parents and caregivers who purchase them. The exemption applies to all qualifying products regardless of where they are bought within the state.
