flag Wisconsin lawmakers seek to eliminate 5% sales tax on menstrual products, calling it discriminatory and harmful to low-income residents.

flag Wisconsin lawmakers, including Rep. Lee Snodgrass and Sen. Rachael Cabral-Guevara, are pushing to eliminate the state’s 5% sales tax on menstrual products, calling it discriminatory and financially burdensome, especially for low-income individuals. flag The bipartisan bill, introduced after Governor Evers’ proposal was dropped, aims to treat menstrual products as essential health items, not luxuries. flag Advocates highlight that over 11% of Wisconsin women live in poverty, and lack of access contributes to school absenteeism. flag Pilot programs in Appleton show free products improve attendance and reduce stigma. flag The bill now moves to committee for review.
