Bill > HB5569

This bill amends Section 4 of Public Act 94 of 1937, which details exemptions from the state's use tax, by adding a new provision to exempt feminine hygiene products from this tax. The use tax is a state tax imposed on the purchase of tangible personal property or services for use or consumption in Michigan when sales tax has not been paid. The bill specifically defines "feminine hygiene products" to include tampons, sanitary napkins, and similar tangible personal property, and this exemption is set to take effect after June 30, 2016. This change is contingent upon House Bill No. 5234 of the 98th Legislature also being enacted into law.
