Bill > SB2074

This bill amends the Mississippi Code of 1972 to add two new sales tax exemptions. Specifically, the bill eliminates sales tax on feminine hygiene products like sanitary napkins and tampons, as well as baby formula and baby diapers. These new exemptions will be added to the existing list of sales tax exemptions in Section 27-65-111, which already includes numerous other items such as certain medical supplies, food purchased with food stamps, and sales to specific nonprofit organizations. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, which means consumers in Mississippi will not have to pay sales tax on these essential personal and childcare items starting from that date. By removing the sales tax on these products, the bill aims to make these necessary items more affordable for Mississippi residents, particularly women and families with infants.
