AI Summary
This bill, known as the Total Access to Menstrual Products (TAMP) Act, requires that menstrual products (such as sanitary napkins, tampons, and panty liners) be provided at no cost in all female-designated and gender-neutral bathrooms, washrooms, and toilet facilities across various public and private settings in New York State. The bill's provisions apply to a wide range of locations, including state-owned buildings, schools (both public and private), universities, hospitals, nursing homes, hotels, railroads, correctional facilities, public parks, and businesses. This comprehensive legislation aims to ensure that menstrual products are readily available and free of charge in restrooms, addressing period poverty and making these essential hygiene products more accessible to individuals who menstruate. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law, giving organizations time to implement the new requirements, and it covers not just state facilities but also extends to local municipal properties, educational institutions, and private businesses throughout New York.
