Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled his $114.8 billion budget proposal Wednesday that would include permanent sales tax exemptions on all baby necessities like strollers and formula, pet meds and even the embattled gas stove.
 

The governor’s "Framework for Freedom" for the 2023 state budget proposes four permanent sales tax holidays totaling $1.5 billion on baby and toddler necessities, cribs and strollers, over-the-counter pet medications and gas stoves. 

"It's hard enough raising kids as it is," DeSantis said at the Florida State Capitol. "Now, you get baby food, diapers, wipes, baby clothes, the whole shebang, including things like cribs and strollers, which are very, very expensive. So that is going to be permanently tax-free in the state of Florida. We're also doing a permanent exclusion on all over-the-counter pet medications, because they're parts of our families, too."
