What’s in it

AI summary People in Iowa would no longer have to pay sales or use tax when they buy period products. The law also removes the tax on both cloth and disposable diapers for children and adults.1

Read the official explanation

This bill exempts the sale of period 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 relates 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 S.F. imposed in Code section 423.5.
