This bill proposes the addition of a new section, designated 18-5-55, to the Code of West Virginia, 1931, aimed at ensuring that female students in public schools have free access to feminine hygiene products. The legislation mandates that county boards of education provide these products in all public elementary, middle, and high schools.

The funding for these products will come 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 accessing necessary hygiene items.
