Summary

The bill adds a new exemption to Pennsylvania’s sales tax so that purchases of items such as soap, toothpaste, shampoo, tampons, razors and other listed hygiene products are not taxed when bought at retail during a six‑month period after the law takes effect. It applies to individual consumers who pay at the time of purchase, and the Department of Revenue must issue online guidance on how to apply the exemption. The measure is intended to reduce out‑of‑pocket costs for everyday personal hygiene needs.
