Providing a sales and use tax exemption for adult and baby diapers.
Washington State's SB 6327 would exempt both baby and adult diapers from the state's sales and use tax starting October 1, 2026. This applies to all diapers (washable or disposable) worn by people of any age who require incontinence products, directly reducing costs for families purchasing these essential items. The bill amends Washington's tax codes (chapters 82.08 and 82.12 RCW) to remove these products from taxable sales and use categories. The legislature states this permanent tax change aims to lessen the financial burden on Washington households.
