SB 587 requires Tennessee's Department of Health to create a pilot program placing free feminine hygiene product vending machines (dispensing tampons and sanitary napkins) in women's restrooms or locker rooms at eligible public schools. The program targets schools with Title I designation serving grades 5-12 that have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, prioritizing two schools per grand division. Participating schools receive the machines and initial supplies at no cost, with the department sourcing products through partnerships and donations. The initiative applies starting the 2025-2026 school year and aims to provide accessible hygiene products to students without financial burden.
