What Is the S.T.A.M.P. Act?

It prohibits states and local governments from imposing sales tax on menstrual products — including pads, tampons, liners, and cups.

Sales tax on menstrual products disproportionately burdens women and people who menstruate, a protected class under the Equal Protection clauses of federal and state constitutions.
States participating in the Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement that label menstrual products as “taxable” in their Taxability Matrix are actively choosing to uphold this discrimination.
When states refuse to repeal the tampon tax, especially after proposals have been introduced, they are engaging in intentional gender-based discrimination.
