What this bill would do

The Improving Diaper Affordability Act of 2025 aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 regarding diaper expenses. This bill would change the tax code so that diapers are treated as qualified medical expenses. It specifically modifies rules for Health Savings Accounts, Archer MSAs, and various Flexible Spending Arrangements. Additionally, the bill seeks to include diaper expenses under Dependent Care Assistance. Finally, it prohibits States and local governments from imposing a sales or use tax on the retail purchase of diapers.
