Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to treat dia- pers as qualified medical expenses; and to prohibit States and local governments to impose a tax on the retail sale of diapers.
AI Summary
This bill aims to improve diaper affordability in the United States. It does this by (1) treating diapers as qualified medical expenses, allowing them to be paid for using health savings accounts, flexible spending arrangements, and other pre-tax healthcare accounts, and (2) prohibiting states and local governments from imposing sales taxes on the retail sale of diapers. The goal is to make diapers more accessible and affordable for low-income families, as one in three families with infants and toddlers struggles to provide the diapers their children need, and low-income families can spend up to 14% of their income on diapers.
