This state legislator wants to get rid of Utah's tax on tampons.
A "tampon tax" is a luxury tax, and most states have them.
They're taxes on "unnecessary" things — including tampons, diapers and elderly incontinence goods.

Susan Duckworth is sponsoring the bill and will present it to an all-male committee.
California and Virginia also have upcoming legislation that could eliminate this tax.
