Pink Tax Repeal Act

The Pink Tax Repeal Act prohibits businesses from charging different prices for substantially similar consumer products or services based on the gender of the intended users. It defines "substantially similar" as having no meaningful differences in materials, use, or design - meaning color alone (e.g., pink vs. blue packaging) cannot justify price differences. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce this under existing laws, and state attorneys general could also sue companies for violations on behalf of residents. This directly affects consumers who pay higher prices for identical or nearly identical items marketed to a specific gender, such as women’s razors or clothing.
