Read the official explanation
This bill exempts the sale of feminine hygiene products, as defined in the bill, from the sales tax. The bill also exempts the sale of child and adult diapers, whether cloth or disposable. The bill makes a conforming amendment in Code section 423.3(68)(c)(1)(a) by striking a reference to child and adult diapers that relate to the tax free holiday. By operation of Code section 423.6, an item exempt from the imposition of the sales tax is also exempt from the use tax imposed in Code section 423.5.
