Provides access to menstrual products in toilet facilities in certain public buildings
This New York bill requires state public buildings that are open to the public to provide free menstrual products, such as pads and tampons, in all female-designated and gender-neutral restrooms. It specifically excludes state universities, the City University of New York, and school district buildings from these requirements. The law also mandates that the state report on the number of facilities affected, implementation costs, and the total number of products purchased two years after the bill takes effect.
