Michigan’s so-called “tampon tax” question is being debated in the Michigan House.

Last week, Republicans and Democrats in the house debated legislation that would end the taxing of tampons and other feminine hygiene products. Similar efforts in the past have failed, but two bills filed this year might have a chance to finally exempt the products from the state’s 6% sales tax.

The House Tax Policy Committee did not vote on the bills, but that could happen at the committee’s next meeting.

The measures would need to pass the full House and the Senate before they could be enacted into law.
