HB 17-1195

House Bill 17-1195, which has been signed into law, removes the state sales tax on diaper purchases starting January 1, 2018. This means that people buying diapers won't have to pay sales tax on them anymore, making diapers more affordable for families. Local governments can also choose to exempt diapers from their local sales taxes if they want to. Since the bill has been signed, it is now law and the exemption applies in Colorado.
