The Texas House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bill that would exempt feminine hygiene products, as well as diapers, from the state’s sales tax code.
The measure is one of House Speaker Dade Phelan’s priorities. It was carried by Rep. Donna Howard, D-Austin.
Joined by Republican and Democratic lawmakers, Howard told the House the measure would be of great help to Texans, particularly those in low-income households.
“This bill provides an opportunity to help Texas families at every stage of life,” Howard said.
