AI Summary
This bill permanently exempts sales and use taxes on products specifically designed for infants and children under five years old. The bill defines "products for young children" as items labeled or recognized as intended for use by young children, including a wide range of baby and toddler-related products such as diapers, wipes, changing tables, hygiene products, feeding items (bottles, sippy cups, highchairs), sleep products (cribs, bassinets, baby monitors), car seats, safety gates, strollers, infant carriers, and toys designed for children under five. By creating new sections in chapters 82.08 and 82.12 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), the legislation ensures that both sales taxes and use taxes are waived for these essential child-related products, potentially making these items more affordable for families with young children. The bill also includes a provision that exempts it from certain standard legislative review requirements related to tax legislation.
