Bill > HB2783

This bill creates the Illinois State Capitol Complex Menstrual Hygiene Product Accessibility Act, which requires the Office of the Secretary of State to provide free menstrual hygiene products in public restrooms located in the Illinois State Capitol and the William G. Stratton State Office Building. The Secretary of State will be responsible for determining the appropriate locations for menstrual product dispensers, establishing a maintenance and restocking schedule to ensure continuous availability, and overseeing the procurement, installation, and upkeep of these dispensers. Menstrual hygiene products, which include items like tampons and sanitary pads, will be made available at no cost to individuals using public restrooms in these state government facilities. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, giving the Office of the Secretary of State time to implement the necessary infrastructure and logistics for providing these essential products.
