Bill > HB148

This bill creates a new section of KRS Chapter 158 to require public schools serving grades 6-12 to provide free menstrual discharge collection devices (such as tampons, pads, and cups) to students. It also requires local school boards to adopt policies for distributing the devices and defines "menstrual discharge collection devices" in the law. The bill amends KRS 139.010 and 139.480 to exempt the sale or purchase of these devices from sales and use tax. Additionally, the bill appropriates $2 million in fiscal year 2024-2025 for the Department of Education to provide the menstrual discharge collection devices, and the bill takes effect on August 1, 2024.
