The bill introduced on February 24, 2025, aims to amend the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 18-5-52, which mandates that county boards of education provide free access to feminine hygiene products for female students in all public elementary, middle, and high schools. This initiative is intended to ensure that female students have the necessary hygiene products available to them without cost.

The funding for these products will be sourced from existing appropriations designated for hygiene products, thereby not requiring additional financial resources. The overall goal of the bill is to promote health and well-being among female students by removing barriers to access essential hygiene items in educational settings.
