S 5910 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Requires menstrual products in public colleges and universities

This bill mandates that all public colleges and universities in the state provide menstrual products free of charge in their building restrooms. The law applies directly to students and staff attending these institutions, ensuring access to necessary hygiene items without cost. By requiring these products to be available at no charge, the legislation aims to support individuals who menstruate while they are on campus. The measure would take effect immediately upon passage, creating a new standard for facilities in public higher education.
