This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 15-120.08, which mandates that all schools operated by school districts or charter schools serving grades six through twelve must provide feminine hygiene products in women's and gender-neutral restrooms. The bill specifies that these products, which include tampons and sanitary napkins, must be available at no cost to students or their families.
Additionally, the bill appropriates $2,500,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Department of Education. This funding is designated for distribution to school districts and charter schools to facilitate the provision of feminine hygiene products as outlined in the new section. Current statutes remain unchanged, with the new provisions being inserted to enhance student health and accessibility.
