Bill > HB2067

This bill establishes a state-funded grant program to provide free feminine hygiene products to students in Title I schools (public schools receiving federal funding for schools with high percentages of low-income students) in grades 5-12. The program will allocate $200,000 annually from the state general fund to create a dedicated feminine hygiene product grant fund, which will reimburse school districts for the cost of purchasing tampons, sanitary napkins, panty liners, and other menstrual products. Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, the state department of education will distribute grants to participating school districts based on the number of female students, with the requirement that schools make these products freely available in women's restrooms and through female staff members like school counselors, nurses, or teachers. The bill defines the scope of "feminine hygiene products" and outlines the application and implementation process, ensuring that female students in qualifying schools can access these essential health products at no cost. The program aims to reduce barriers to education by addressing menstrual equity and supporting students' health and comfort during school hours.
