Menstrual Products Sales Tax Exemption

Arguments in Favor

Supporters argue that menstrual products are basic hygiene necessities, not luxury items, and should not be taxed like other goods. They contend the tax exemption reduces financial burden on menstruating individuals and addresses period poverty, making essential health products more affordable and accessible. Proponents point to other states that have already eliminated this tax, framing it as a fairness issue for a necessary expense.
