| Summary |
Section 1 of the bill creates, beginning on January 1, 2025, and
continuing indefinitely, a state sales and use tax exemption for baby and
toddler products. A baby and toddler product is defined to include a
baby crib, playpen, or play yard; a baby stroller; a baby safety gate,
cabinet lock or latch, or electrical socket cover; a baby monitor; a bicycle
child carrier seat, or trailer, including an adaptor or accessory; a baby
exerciser, jumper, bouncer seat, or swing; a breast pump, bottle sterilizer,
bottle, or nipple, pacifier, or teething ring; baby wipes; a changing table
or pad; and baby and toddler clothing.
Section 1 also creates a time-limited state sales and use tax
exemption, or sales and use tax holiday, for back-to-school items. The tax
holiday applies for 14 days beginning on January 1, 2025, and for an
additional 14 days beginning on July 24, 2025. A back-to-school item
is defined to mean an article of clothing, a bag, a school supply, a
learning aid, or a personal computer or personal computer-related
accessory that is purchased primarily for use by an individual who is a
minor. The exemption for each item is limited by cost as follows:
•
$100 for an article of clothing or a bag;
•
$50 for a school supply;
•
$30 for a learning aid; and
•
$1,500 for a personal computer or a personal
computer-related accessory.
Section 2 permits a town, city, or county to create sales and use tax
exemptions that are identical to the state exemptions.
