AI Summary

This bill requires each public senior higher education institution and community college in Maryland to provide students with access to all methods of over-the-counter contraception, which are contraceptive drugs or devices approved by the FDA that do not require a prescription.

Beginning in October 2026, the Commission will then report this information annually to the General Assembly.
