Bill > A02428

This bill requires private colleges and universities in New York State to provide free menstrual products (such as tampons and pads) in the restrooms of their school buildings. The legislation mandates that these products must be made available to students at no cost, effectively ensuring that menstrual products are easily accessible to students across private higher education institutions in the state. By amending the public health law to add this new requirement, the bill aims to address menstrual equity and reduce financial barriers for students who need these essential hygiene products. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, meaning private colleges would need to implement these provisions as soon as the law is enacted.
