URGENT Ask Your Senator to vote Yes on HB 1177 to exempt diapers from sales tax.

Diapers are a health necessity and the tax disproportionately hurts poor families the most.

Did you know?
About 44,000 North Dakota residents are under three years of age.
Eleven percent of them live in families earning less the 100% of the federal poverty level. Twenty percent live in families earning between 100% and 200% of the federal poverty level.
The sales tax, being regressive, disproportionately burdens these families. Many of them will not benefit much from income tax reform.
Eliminating the sales tax on diapers for these families could save them the equivalent of a month’s worth of diapers per infant, or more.
Let's help these families.
