This bill proposes the addition of a new section, 18-5-52, to the Code of West Virginia, 1931, aimed at ensuring that students in public schools have access to feminine hygiene products at no cost. The legislation mandates that county boards of education provide these products to students, thereby addressing a critical need for menstrual hygiene management in educational settings.

The primary objective of this bill is to promote health and well-being among students by eliminating financial barriers to accessing essential feminine hygiene products. By implementing this policy, the state aims to support students' educational experiences and overall health, ensuring that menstruation does not hinder their participation in school activities.
