Bill > HB2073

This bill provides a sales tax exemption for feminine hygiene products and diapers in Kansas. Specifically, the bill adds a new exemption to the state's sales tax law that eliminates sales tax on tampons, panty liners, menstrual cups, sanitary napkins, children's diapers, and adult diapers. The bill defines these terms precisely, with "feminine hygiene products" referring to items used during menstruation and "diapers" defined as absorbent garments for individuals who have difficulty controlling bladder or bowel movements. By removing the sales tax on these essential personal care items, the bill aims to reduce the financial burden on consumers, particularly women and families, who regularly purchase these products. The exemption will apply to all sales of these items, making them more affordable for Kansas residents. The bill will take effect upon publication in the state statute book.
