AI Summary
This bill requires all school districts and public charter schools in Oklahoma to provide free menstrual products (specifically tampons and sanitary napkins) in female-designated restrooms and single-occupancy restrooms. The legislation aims to ensure that students have easy access to necessary hygiene products during their menstrual cycles without financial burden. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause, which means it can be implemented immediately upon passage. By mandating the availability of these products at no cost, the bill seeks to address potential barriers to education and hygiene that students might face due to lack of access to menstrual products. The definition of "menstrual products" is specifically limited to tampons and sanitary napkins, and the requirement applies to all public school districts and charter schools in the state.
