This bill mandates that school districts in Iowa provide free access to feminine hygiene products in the women's restrooms of school buildings for female students in grades six through twelve. The bill specifies that these products include sanitary napkins, tampons, and similar items, and requires that the supply be regularly replenished. To support this initiative, the bill appropriates necessary funds from the state general fund to the Department of Education for the period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028, allowing school districts to submit documented costs for reimbursement.

Additionally, the bill outlines that any state costs associated with compliance will be covered by school districts using funds appropriated by the bill, and from state school foundation aid for school years starting on or after July 1, 2028. This provision is intended to ensure that the state meets its funding-related requirements for mandates, reinforcing the obligation of political subdivisions to comply with the mandates established in the bill.
