As a new batch of state laws is a month away from becoming reality, and Texans may find something to celebrate in one of them.
The state of Texas will no longer collect sales tax on essential baby products like diapers and wipes, as well as feminine menstrual products.
This law has been tried several times to no avail but it finally got some needed traction this past legislative session.
Texas's historic budget surplus is credited for finally getting the bill across the finish line.
Advocates say it will make a huge difference, especially to low income mothers who may struggle to afford needed supplies for babies.
