The bill aims to take some of the financial burden off new families by removing the sales tax for crucial baby items, like diapers and formula.
If House Bill 300 becomes law, child care advocates say it can save struggling families a lot of money on baby products.
She said the removal of the sales tax seems small, but over time, it’ll bring some real savings to families. Lt. Gov. Patrick referred to removing the tax on feminine hygiene products as a "common sense tax exemption." "HB300, as amended, provides sales tax relief to Texans in all stages of life," Howard said. "It’s an example of the positive impact we can have when we work in on a bipartisan basis."
