Bill > HB633

This bill proposes to reduce the sales tax rate on feminine hygiene products and diapers starting October 1, 2025, to match the tax rate levied on food sales. The bill provides clear definitions for key terms: "diapers" are described as absorbent garments worn by infants, toddlers, or individuals unable to control bladder or bowel movements, while "feminine hygiene products" include items used to manage menstrual flow such as tampons, pads, liners, and menstrual cups. By aligning the tax rate for these essential personal care items with the lower tax rate applied to food, the legislation aims to make these necessary products more affordable for consumers. The bill amends the existing Missouri Revised Statutes (specifically Chapter 144) by adding a new section that outlines these tax provisions and definitions, effectively reducing the financial burden on individuals who require these products for personal hygiene and care.
