Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday signed a $1.2 billion tax relief package, the largest tax relief package in the state’s history, which, in part, makes key baby items tax free for one year.

The governor signed what he described as the “largest tax relief in the history of the state of Florida,” giving relief to millions of Floridians on key items that have skyrocketed over the course of Biden’s presidency. That includes “really critical needs like gas, diapers, disaster supplies, tools for skilled trades, [and] recreational activities.”

“Families are going to be able to save for things that that really matter for them,” he said, first announcing specific tax relief for baby items.

“Diapers, clothes, and shoes for babies and toddlers will be tax free for one year, beginning July 1, 2022,” DeSantis said. “Children’s books will be tax free, for three months starting May 14 and that will go through August 14 leading right into the school year.”

Indeed, the sales tax exemption period on children’s diapers, as well as baby and toddler clothing, apparel, and shoes, will run from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.

“During this sales tax exemption period, tax is not due on the retail sale of children’s diapers or on baby and toddler clothing, apparel, and shoes primarily intended for children age 5 or younger,” the TIP sheet reads.

Other tax holiday categories include:

Children’s books: May 14-August 14, 2022 Disaster Preparedness: May 28-June 10, 2022 Freedom Week items: July 1-7, 2022 Energy Star Appliances: July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023 Home Gardening: July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2024 Back to School: June 25 – August 7, 2022 Tool Time: September 3-9, 2022 Motor Fuel: October 1-31, 2022

She also bleached dishcloths. Which I was surprised to learn that not everybody does - reusing dishcloths without bleaching between uses is very unhealthy.>>>>>>>>>>>

yes, thats a customary practice in my extended family also.

But to tell the truth most mothers in our extended family prefer to use cloth dipaers right up to when baby walks. They switch to the disposable diapers that have an elastic seal around legs whichi is a help . but then thats only for a short time because the little gaffers start using their own potty.
