Bill Summary
An act to add and repeal Section 6363.10 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation, to take effect immediately, tax levy.
AI Summary
This bill, effective immediately, exempts menstrual products such as tampons, sanitary napkins, menstrual sponges, and menstrual cups from state and local sales and use taxes between January 1, 2017, and January 1, 2022. This exemption applies to the sale, storage, use, or consumption of these items within the state, meaning consumers will no longer pay taxes on these essential goods during this period. Importantly, the bill specifies that while existing law typically reimburses local governments for tax revenue lost due to such exemptions, this particular bill will not provide such reimbursement, meaning counties and cities will not receive state funds to offset any lost tax income from these exempt sales.
