AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia law to exempt certain essential baby and feminine hygiene products from sales and use taxes, which are taxes levied on the purchase or use of goods and services. Specifically, it adds a new provision to the Official Code of Georgia Annotated that exempts children's diapers, baby formula, therapeutic or preventive creams and wipes marketed for babies, and feminine hygiene products such as tampons, menstrual pads, sanitary napkins, panty liners, menstrual sponges, and menstrual cups from these taxes. This change aims to reduce the financial burden on consumers for these necessary items.
