Bill > HB05664

This bill proposes changes to existing Connecticut school regulations regarding menstrual product availability. Specifically, the bill eliminates two current requirements: first, the mandate to provide menstrual products in men's restrooms at high schools, and second, the requirement to make these products available in all restrooms for students in grades three through eight. Instead, the bill stipulates that menstrual products should be made available at a centralized location within the school, such as the school nurse's office. The purpose of these changes appears to be ensuring more controlled and appropriate access to menstrual products for students, potentially reducing waste or misuse while still maintaining availability for students who need them. By centralizing access through the nurse's office, the bill seems to aim at providing these products in a more supervised and intentional manner.
