MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Governor Kay Ivey on this Friday, May 9th, signed House Bill 152 into law, a measure aimed at easing financial burdens on mothers and families by providing sales tax exemptions on key products. The signing comes just ahead of Mother’s Day weekend.
Sponsored by Representative Neil Rafferty, HB152 exempts certain purchases—including diapers, baby supplies, baby formula, maternity clothing, and feminine hygiene products—from state sales tax. The law is scheduled to take effect on September 1, 2025.
In a statement, Governor Ivey emphasized the state’s ongoing commitment to supporting mothers.
“Alabama is proudly the most pro-life state in America, and we remain committed to doing all we can to support our moms. As we head into Mother’s Day weekend, I am excited to sign HB152 for all of our Alabama moms.” – Governor Kay Ivey
The legislation is expected to bring relief to households across Alabama by lowering the cost of essential care items for women and children.
