Bill > HB3864

This bill provides a sales and use tax exemption for several common personal and household items in Texas, specifically toilet paper, contact lens solution, reading glasses, dental floss, laundry detergent, dish soap, hand soap, and antiperspirant or deodorant. By amending the Tax Code's Subchapter H, Chapter 151, the legislation aims to reduce the tax burden on consumers by eliminating sales tax on these everyday necessities. The bill specifies that these tax exemptions will take effect on September 1, 2025, and will not impact any tax liabilities that accrued before the effective date. This means that the existing tax rules will continue to apply to taxes due prior to the bill's implementation, ensuring a clean transition to the new tax-exempt status for these personal and household items.
