This bill establishes a pilot program through the Department of Social Services to provide financial benefits for menstrual hygiene products and diapers to individuals receiving temporary assistance for needy families in South Dakota. The program will allocate $14 monthly for each eligible participant aged 18 to 50 who menstruates, and $30 for each dependent under three years old. The bill defines "menstrual hygiene products" to include menstrual cups, sanitary napkins, and tampons, and mandates that benefits be distributed via the participants' existing electronic benefits cards on the same date as their regular assistance.

Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Social Services to provide informational materials about the benefits, establish procedures to ensure proper use of the funds, and reclaim unused benefits from participants who no longer qualify. A report evaluating the program's effectiveness must be submitted to the Legislature by September 1, 2029, detailing participant numbers, total funds distributed, and recommendations for future actions. The bill appropriates $2.5 million from the general fund to support the program, which will be effective starting June 30, 2026, and will expire on June 30, 2029.
