Maddy summaryThis bill amends Massachusetts law to define disposable menstrual products, such as sanitary napkins and tampons, within the state's education statutes. By adding this definition, the legislation provides a clear legal basis for schools to ensure these items are available to students who need them. The change directly affects educational institutions by clarifying the scope of products that should be accessible in school settings. This measure aims to improve access for menstruating students without altering existing funding or distribution requirements.
