What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
Read the full summary Show less
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.
