The bill would amend the General Sales Tax Act to exempt diapers and adult incontinence garments from the sales tax, beginning January 1, 2000. Each year, the state treasurer would be required to estimate the amount of sales tax not collected due to the exemption, and that amount would have to be transferred from the General Fund to the State School Aid Fund.
