Colorado to stop sales tax on diapers and menstrual products
CBSN
Beginning Wednesday, Colorado will no longer charge a sales tax on diapers, incontinence products and menstrual products thanks to a law which was signed by Gov. Jared Polis earlier this year.
The law is part of an initiative to save Coloradans money in 100 ways.
"This new bi-partisan law finally ends the sales tax on diapers and feminine hygiene products permanently and starts saving people money on these necessary products," Polis said in news release Monday.
