HB 2224 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

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

This bill proposes to change how sales tax is applied to feminine hygiene products and diapers in retail settings. It would limit the tax rate on these items to match or stay below the rate charged on food sales. The legislation defines "diapers" as absorbent garments for infants, toddlers, or individuals with bladder or bowel control issues, and "feminine hygiene products" as items like tampons, pads, liners, and cups used for menstrual flow. By adjusting the tax classification, the bill directly affects consumers purchasing these specific goods and the retailers who sell them.
