Menstrual Equity for All Act.
HB 510, the "Menstrual Equity for All Act," exempts feminine hygiene products (like tampons, menstrual cups, and sanitary napkins) from state sales tax starting July 1, 2025. It allocates $750,000 annually from 2025-2027 to fund a grant program through the Department of Public Instruction, providing these products to public school students in need. The bill directly affects public schools and students, particularly in low-income communities, by reducing financial barriers to accessing essential menstrual products. Key provisions include redefining "feminine hygiene products" for tax purposes and establishing a dedicated funding stream for school-based distribution.
