(Radio Iowa) - A slate of bills advancing in the Iowa House would eliminate the state sales tax on everyday items like toilet paper and laundry detergent and extend a state tax credit for child care expenses to all Iowa households.
House Speaker Pat Grassley -- the lead sponsor on these bills -- says the intent to help Iowans facing higher household costs due to inflation. Another bill advancing in the House expands the state tax credit for child care expenses to all families.
Under current law, it's limited to households with an annual income of 35-thousand dollars or less.
