The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 297A.67, subdivision 9, to expand the sales tax exemption for certain baby products. The current law includes breast pumps, baby bottles and nipples, and pacifiers, but the amendment adds a variety of additional items to the exemption list, including baby wipes, cribs, bassinets, changing tables, strollers, car seats, and more. This expansion aims to alleviate the financial burden on families purchasing essential baby products.
Additionally, the bill specifies that the new provisions will take effect for sales and purchases made after June 30, 2025. This timeline allows for businesses and consumers to prepare for the changes in tax exemptions related to these baby products.
