This can contribute to poor physical health outcomes \u2026 By exempting these essential products from state sales tax, this bill will help alleviate economic hardship for families and ensure equitable access to necessary health and hygiene items.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The law takes effect on September 1, 2025.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"zox-post-ad-wrap\"><span class=\"zox-ad-label\">Advertisement.
