What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill creates a sales and use tax exemption for the sale of diapers and feminine hygiene products. The bill also exempts diapers and feminine hygiene products from the Unfair Sales Act. The Unfair Sales Act prohibits retailers and wholesalers from selling merchandise for less than the cost of the merchandise to the seller. Under the bill, the prohibition on below-cost sales does not apply to diapers and feminine hygiene products.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed as an appendix to the bill.
