Tennessee SB2683 exempts feminine hygiene products from sales tax and mandates their free availability in public schools.
Tennessee SB2683 amends the state tax code to exempt the sale of feminine hygiene products from sales tax. It defines these products as those used by women for menstruation or genital-tract secretions, including tampons and sanitary napkins. The bill also mandates that public schools provide these products free of charge to students to address period poverty, which disproportionately affects marginalized groups and can lead to health and educational disparities. This act takes effect July 1, 2026.
