Summary
The bill adds tampons, pads, panty liners, menstrual cups and similar items to the list of goods exempt from the state’s retail sales tax. The exemption takes effect on Oct. 1, 2026, so purchases made after that date would be tax‑free. Supporters say it helps lower the cost of essential feminine hygiene products.
