What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires each school district, operator of an independent charter

school, and governing body of a private school participating in a parental choice

program to provide free tampons and sanitary napkins in women's restroom facilities

in buildings owned, leased, or occupied by the school board, operator, or governing

body.

The bill creates a revenue limit adjustment for a school district that incurs costs

to comply with the bill. Current law generally limits the total amount of revenue per

pupil that a school district may receive from general school aids and property taxes

in a school year to the amount of revenue allowed per pupil in the previous school

year plus a per pupil increase, if any, as provided by law. However, current law also

includes several adjustments to the general revenue limit.

Under the bill, if a school board adopts a resolution, the school district's revenue

limit is increased by the amount the school district spends in a school year to make

tampons and sanitary napkins available in school buildings.
