S.B. No. 775 aims to enhance education regarding endometriosis and menstrual disorders for public school students in Texas. The bill introduces a new section, 28.0044, to the Education Code, which allows school districts to provide age-appropriate educational materials on these topics. The State Board of Education is tasked with adopting a list of such materials, which must cover various aspects, including the timing and symptoms of endometriosis and menstrual disorders, the significance of menstrual health, basic statistics, advocacy for personal health care, and treatment options.

The implementation of this act is set to begin with the 2025-2026 school year. It will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025. This initiative is designed to improve awareness and understanding of menstrual health issues among students, thereby promoting better health outcomes and educational performance.
