Kansas Still Taxes Your Diapers

March 25, 2026

Missouri did it. Texas did it. More than 20 states have done it. Kansas still charges full sales tax on diapers, feminine hygiene products, and incontinence supplies.


Senate Bill 389 and House Bill 2073 would end that. Simple bills. Bipartisan support among voters. And yet - neither bill has even gotten a hearing in the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee.


This isn't a culture war issue. It's a math issue. A family with an infant spends $80-100 a month on diapers. The state is taxing that at the same rate as a TV. That's wrong, and Kansas families know it.


I'm a cosponsor of SB 389. I'm pushing the committee chair to schedule a hearing. If you agree this is overdue, call your senator and tell them.
