While lawmakers argue about Texas property tax reform, Gov. Greg Abbott recently signed a Texas sales tax relief bill. Under the legislation, some essential baby care items and feminine hygiene products will become tax-exempt in Texas.
“Every penny does count for families in Texas, and they have to struggle between buying diapers and buying food sometimes,” said Texas Rep. Donna Howard (D-48) in a statement regarding a similar sales tax relief bill she sponsored last year. (That bill never became law.)
