SB 800 - This act establishes the Personal Period Products and Diaper Sales Tax Relief Act. Beginning October 1, 2020, this act provides that the rate of sales tax imposed on the retail sale of feminine hygiene products, diapers, and incontinence products, as defined in the act, shall not exceed the rate of sales tax imposed on the retail sale of food.
This act is identical to SB 443 (2019) and HB 747 (2019), and is substantially similar to HCS/HBs 1306 & 2065 (2020) and to a provision contained in HCS/SS/SCS/SB 570 (2020).
