Bill > SB6327

This bill establishes a permanent sales and use tax exemption for both adult and baby diapers, defining a diaper as any absorbent incontinence product, washable or disposable, worn by someone unable to control bladder or bowel movements, regardless of age or sex. This exemption aims to reduce the financial burden on Washington families by removing sales tax, which is a tax on the sale of goods and services, and use tax, which is a tax on the use of goods and services purchased outside the state, from these essential items. The bill specifies that this tax preference is intended as relief for individuals and families and will be permanently in place, meaning it won't require periodic review by the joint legislative audit and review committee, though it will be included in a required tax exemption report. The exemption will take effect on October 1, 2026.
