Bill > SB37

This bill authorizes a sales tax exemption for feminine hygiene products in Missouri, adding a new provision to the state's tax code that specifically excludes tampons, pads, liners, and menstrual cups from sales tax. By creating this exemption, the bill aims to reduce the financial burden on individuals who purchase these essential personal care items, which are necessary for managing menstruation. The addition of this exemption is part of a broader list of sales tax exemptions in the state, which includes items like certain medical equipment, agricultural supplies, and utilities for domestic use. The bill reflects a growing trend of eliminating sales tax on feminine hygiene products, often referred to as the "pink tax" elimination, recognizing these products as necessities rather than luxury items.
