Bill > SB956

This bill, known as the Menstrual Equity Act, requires certain entities in Pennsylvania to provide disposable menstrual products, such as sanitary napkins and tampons, at no cost in restroom facilities. The entities covered include providers of temporary housing assistance, school entities, colleges, state agencies that provide public assistance, and correctional facilities. The bill authorizes the relevant state secretaries to promulgate temporary and permanent regulations to implement and enforce these requirements. The bill's provision for providing free menstrual products takes effect on July 1, 2020, while the rest of the bill takes effect immediately.
