SB 590

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 all 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.

In addition, the bill requires that restroom facilities in buildings owned, leased,

or occupied by the state or a political subdivision have available tampons and

sanitary napkins at no charge.
