HB 2370 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Requires school districts to provide "period products" at no cost in charter schools and public middle and high schools

This bill requires public school districts and charter schools with a high percentage of low-income students to provide free menstrual products like tampons and sanitary napkins in their restrooms. The law specifically applies to schools serving grades six through twelve where at least 40% of students come from households earning less than 185% of the federal poverty guidelines. Starting in July 2025, the state will cover the costs of these products using existing education funds, ensuring that students do not have to pay for them.
