Bill > HB2207

This bill enacts the "Menstrual Hygiene Products Accessibility Act," which amends several Tennessee statutes to require public schools, including charter schools, to provide free feminine hygiene products such as tampons and pads in all women's and girls' bathrooms, locker rooms, and with the school nurse. The bill also creates a special account in the state treasury to be administered by the Department of Education, into which 20% of the state sales tax collected on feminine hygiene products will be deposited, and the funds from this account will be used to purchase feminine hygiene products for eligible schools to assist them in complying with the requirements of the act. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2024.
