Bill > HF18

This bill expands the existing sales and use tax exemption for baby products in Minnesota by adding several new items to the list of tax-exempt products. Currently, the law exempts breast pumps, baby bottles and nipples, pacifiers, teething rings, and infant syringes from sales tax. The proposed amendment would broaden this exemption to include additional baby-related items such as baby wipes, cribs, bassinets, crib and bassinet mattresses and sheets, changing tables, changing pads, strollers, car seats and car seat bases, baby swings, bottle sterilizers, and infant eating utensils. This expansion aims to reduce the financial burden on parents and caregivers by making these essential baby care items more affordable. The tax exemption will take effect for sales and purchases made after June 30, 2025, giving retailers and consumers time to prepare for the change. By exempting these products from sales tax, the bill seeks to provide some economic relief to families with infants by lowering the overall cost of necessary baby care equipment and supplies.
