Shoppers in Texas no longer have to pay a sales tax on menstrual products, making the state one of the few in the nation to eliminate the so-called “tampon tax.”
A new law that went into effect Friday eliminates the sales tax on feminine hygiene products including items like tampons, menstrual pads and menstrual cups.
In addition to menstrual products, the law, S.B. 379, also eliminates the sales tax on family care items including diapers, baby bottles, baby wipes, maternity clothing and breast milk pump products.
GOP is simply trying to make the state unwelcoming to progressives and move out the ones that can/will, just so there’s no chance of losing the state to the left. FL and other many other GOP states are doing the same - simple as that: electoral votes.
