Establishing a feminine hygiene product grant program and grant fund to award moneys to qualifying title I schools to provide feminine hygiene products to students at no cost.

Summary

The bill would establish a $200,000 grant fund, administered by the Kansas Department of Education, to provide tampons, pads and similar items at no cost to female students in grades 5‑12 at qualifying Title I public schools. Local school districts could apply for reimbursement of actual product costs and would be required to make the products available in school restrooms or through staff. The measure seeks to improve menstrual equity but failed to advance beyond committee.
