Bill > HR736

This Resolution urges the United States Congress to pass H. Res. 2048, known as the Pink Tax Repeal Act, which aims to prevent businesses from charging women more for products that are similar to those marketed to men. The "Pink Tax" is the term used to describe this practice of higher pricing for goods typically aimed at women, such as personal care items, clothing, and even services like dry cleaning. Studies, including one by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs, have shown that women's products often cost more than comparable men's products, leading to significant lifetime financial burdens for women. The resolution, sponsored by Congresswoman Jackie Speier, seeks to eliminate this discriminatory pricing.
