Bill > HB05976

This bill proposes to amend section 12-412 of the general statutes to exempt certain personal care items from sales and use taxes in the state. Specifically, the bill would remove sales and use taxes from the sale, storage, use, or consumption of everyday personal hygiene products such as soap, shaving cream, hair care products, and similar items. By exempting these products from taxation, the bill aims to reduce the financial burden on consumers by making essential personal care items more affordable. Sales and use taxes are typically applied to the sale of goods within a state, and this legislation would create a specific carve-out for personal care items, potentially providing some relief to consumers who regularly purchase these everyday products.
