An Act concerning disposable menstrual products in schools

This bill requires all public schools in Massachusetts serving students in grades six through twelve to provide free disposable menstrual products, such as tampons and sanitary napkins, in school restrooms. The law mandates that these items be available at no cost to students and must be distributed in a way that avoids stigmatizing anyone who uses them. School districts are authorized to adjust the quantity of products based on usage rates to ensure adequate supply. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on August 1, 2023.
