The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 297A.67, subdivision 9, to expand the sales tax exemption for baby products. The new language specifies that "all baby products" are exempt from sales tax, and provides a comprehensive list of items that fall under this category, including breast pumps, baby bottles, pacifiers, teething rings, baby wipes, baby oils, baby lotions, baby creams, cribs, bassinets, changing tables, strollers, car seats, baby swings, and similar products.
Additionally, the bill includes an effective date, stating that the new exemption will apply to sales and purchases made after June 30, 2024. This expansion aims to alleviate the financial burden on families purchasing essential baby items.
