Bill > HB2838

This bill mandates that county boards of education in West Virginia must provide free feminine hygiene products, such as tampons and sanitary pads, to all students in public elementary, middle, and high schools. The legislation aims to ensure that female students have easy and no-cost access to these essential products during their menstrual cycles, which can help reduce barriers to education and eliminate potential embarrassment or disruption caused by not having necessary hygiene supplies. By requiring schools to stock and make these products available at no charge, the bill seeks to support students' health, comfort, and ability to fully participate in their educational environment without worrying about managing their menstrual needs.
