The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 297A.67, subdivision 9, to expand the sales tax exemption for certain baby products. The current list of exempt items is updated to include additional products such as baby wipes, cribs, bassinets, crib and bassinet mattresses, crib and bassinet sheets, changing tables, changing pads, strollers, car seats and car seat bases, baby swings, bottle sterilizers, and infant eating utensils. The previous language that only included breast pumps, baby bottles and nipples, pacifiers, and teething rings is modified to reflect this expansion.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the new exemptions will be effective for sales and purchases made after June 30, 2023. This change aims to provide financial relief to families purchasing essential baby products by eliminating sales tax on a broader range of items.
