An Act providing for the provision of disposable menstrual products.
AI Summary
This bill, the Menstrual Equity Act, requires certain entities in Pennsylvania, including homeless shelters, schools, colleges, state agencies, and correctional facilities, to provide disposable menstrual products (such as pads and tampons) at no cost and make them available in restrooms in a convenient and non-stigmatizing manner. The bill grants the Secretaries of Human Services, Education, Labor and Industry, and Corrections the authority to promulgate temporary and permanent regulations to implement and enforce these provisions. The provisions related to providing the menstrual products take effect on July 1, 2021, while the rest of the bill takes effect immediately.
