What’s in it

AI summary School boards must provide free items like tampons and pads in at least half of the restrooms used by students in grades 4 through 12. These supplies must be refilled on a regular basis. To pay for these products, school districts will use money from the state school foundation aid they receive.1

Read the official explanation

This bill requires school boards to ensure that feminine hygiene products can be accessed by students without cost in at least half of the restrooms in school buildings in the district where students in grades through are educated and that the supply of feminine hygiene products is refilled regularly. The bill defines “feminine hygiene products” as sanitary napkins, tampons, or other similar items used for feminine hygiene.3.16.2.
