Requires school districts to provide "period products" at no cost in middle schools and high schools and charter schools and repeals provisions prohibiting abortion services providers from providing instruction on human sexuality or sexually transmitted diseases
This bill requires middle and high schools, as well as charter schools, to provide free menstrual products to students starting in July 2025, with costs covered by state funds. It also removes a previous restriction that barred abortion service providers from teaching human sexuality or sexually transmitted disease courses. Under the new rules, schools must offer medically accurate sex education that covers topics like abstinence, contraception, consent, and online safety, while allowing local boards to decide on specific curriculum details and parental notification.
