Dear members of the Senate Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee,
I write today to ask for your support for HB 328 by Representative Aimee Freeman.
Louisiana families already struggled before the coronavirus pandemic to provide basic hygiene products like child and adult diapers and feminine hygiene products. Allowing local municipalities to eliminate taxes on these products will give hardworking Louisiana families another measure of relief during difficult economic times.
HB 328 is co-authored by Senators Regina Barrow and Beth Mizell, as well as 36 co-authors in the House, and also has the support of religious leaders and women across the state.
Please vote YES for HB 328.
Sincerely,
Your Name
