This bill mandates that public restrooms in public buildings, which are defined as structures owned, leased, or operated by the state or a local government, including public transportation facilities and gathering spaces like parks but excluding K-12 educational facilities, must provide an adequate supply of essential hygiene items. These items include hand soap, toilet paper, hand-drying devices, water, waste containers, and importantly, menstrual hygiene products, which are defined as appropriately sized tampons, sanitary napkins, and sanitary pads. The bill also clarifies that a public restroom is a facility with at least one toilet or urinal, but excludes those with only composting or pit toilets. This legislation is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
