SB 389 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing a sales tax exemption for feminine hygiene products, diapers and incontinence products.

SB 389 would remove sales tax from feminine hygiene products, diapers, and incontinence products sold in Kansas. This change directly affects consumers who purchase these essential items, making them less expensive at the point of sale. The bill amends Kansas tax code (K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 79-3606) to add these products to the list of items already exempt from state sales tax. The policy change is purely procedural, updating the tax exemption list without altering other tax rules.
