FREE CONDOMS FOR CERTAIN STUDENTS
HB 517 requires public colleges and universities (post-secondary institutions) and public high schools to provide free condoms to all students. It mandates that schools make condoms available at no cost in safe, accessible locations like health centers and restrooms, with administrators consulting student health staff to determine the best distribution method. The bill directly affects students in these educational settings by ensuring access to condoms without cost. Key provisions include specific location requirements and collaboration with school health services to implement the policy. The legislation focuses on improving student access to reproductive health resources through school-based provision.
