Providing for the provision of disposable menstrual products.

AI Summary

This bill, the Menstrual Equity Act, requires certain entities in Pennsylvania, such as schools, colleges, correctional facilities, and government offices, to provide disposable menstrual products (e.g., tampons, pads) at no cost and make them available in restroom facilities in a convenient and non-stigmatizing manner. The bill defines key terms, grants regulatory authority to various state secretaries to implement and enforce these provisions, and allows for the adoption of temporary regulations that will expire within two years. The bill's provisions related to the provision of menstrual products will take effect on July 1, 2024, while the rest of the bill will take effect immediately.
