Makes menstrual products free and accessible in schools, prisons, and public places.
The problem
Many people cannot afford menstrual products. Students miss school and people face health issues because of cost and access barriers.
The proposal
Requires schools, prisons, and government buildings to provide free menstrual products. Expands programs to ensure low-income people can get these products.
The impact
Students, incarcerated people, and low-income individuals gain free access to menstrual products in schools, prisons, and public facilities.
Students won't miss school due to lack of products. People won't face health problems from using unsafe alternatives. This helps poorer families save money.
When products are free at school, students attend class more regularly. Better attendance helps grades improve and graduation rates increase.
Free access prevents unsafe practices and health complications. Reduces infections and other medical problems from improper menstrual hygiene.
Ensures dignity and health for people in prison. Reduces costs of dealing with health problems caused by lack of products.
Requires taxpayer money to buy and distribute products in schools and public buildings. The total yearly cost could be significant depending on implementation.
Free products might lead to waste or overuse. Storage and disposal in schools could create practical problems and sanitation issues.
Students may feel uncomfortable accessing free products at school due to stigma. Some people prefer choosing their own product brands and types.
Schools must figure out how to store, distribute, and maintain products. Small schools may struggle more with logistics than larger districts.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
