The sponsor's argument

Why the sponsor says this is needed

The current tax exemption on clothing and footwear in New York State has not been adjusted since 1998, when it was set at one hundred and ten dollars. When taking into account inflation, $110 in 1998 would be worth $200 in 2023. This legislation simply raises the tax exemption on cloth- ing and footwear to keep pace with the level of inflation that has occurred over the last 25 years. Clothing and footwear are essential items for everyone. New York State needs to do more to provide essential relief to residents who are impacted by the rising cost of inflation. This sales tax exemption will provide families with real savings year-round at a time when prices continue to rise.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
