The bill, S.B. No. 775, aims to enhance education and awareness regarding endometriosis and menstrual disorders among public school students in Texas. It 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 bill is set to begin with the 2025-2026 school year. It emphasizes the importance of educating students about menstrual health and related disorders, aiming to improve their understanding and management of these issues. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote in both houses; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
