HB 2461 exempts feminine hygiene products (like tampons and sanitary napkins) from Tennessee's sales and use tax, effective July 2026. It also requires the state education department to provide these products for free in public schools upon request by school administrators or boards. The bill defines "feminine hygiene products" as items used during menstruation and clarifies they include common products like tampons and pads. This policy directly affects students in public schools and consumers purchasing these items.
