This bill proposes the repeal of the existing requirement for school districts to provide menstrual hygiene products at no cost to students. Specifically, it seeks to remove RSA 189:16-a, which mandates that schools make these products available in restrooms. The bill does not introduce any new legal language but instead focuses on eliminating the current obligation for schools.
The effective date for this change is set for 60 days after the bill's passage. The fiscal impact of this legislation is noted as indeterminable, as it would depend on individual school districts' decisions regarding the provision of menstrual products. While the repeal could lead to potential cost savings for districts that choose to stop providing these products, the overall financial implications will vary across different localities.
