HB 1579 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Changes the laws regarding the taxation of feminine hygiene products and diapers

This bill proposes to reduce the sales tax on feminine hygiene products and diapers to a rate no higher than that applied to food. It defines these items specifically as absorbent garments for infants and toddlers, and products such as tampons, pads, liners, and cups. Additionally, the legislation authorizes state agencies to apply for a federal waiver that would allow recipients of SNAP and WIC benefits to use their assistance to purchase these essential items. If the waiver is approved, the relevant departments would update their rules to implement these changes.
