The bill exempts menstrual hygiene products which include tampons, sanitary napkins primarily designed and labeled for menstrual hygiene use, menstrual sponges, and menstrual cups.
According to protesters, removing the so-called "tampon tax" could save women a dollar a month and families with several women several dollars a month.
