MODERATE
The bill was amended to narrow its scope from a broad mandate covering all state, local, and school buildings to a specific requirement only for the Illinois State Capitol and the William G. Stratton State Office Building. Additionally, the bill was modified to assign direct responsibility to the Secretary of State for providing, maintaining, and restocking menstrual hygiene products in these specific locations, replacing the previous language that allowed the Department of Central Management Services to coordinate with and grant money to local entities.
Scope change
The applicability of the bill was significantly reduced from a statewide mandate covering all government and school buildings to a limited mandate covering only two specific state facilities.
SCOPE

The requirement to provide free menstrual hygiene products was changed from applying to all State, local, and school district buildings to applying only to the Illinois State Capitol and the William G. Stratton State Office Building.

REQUIREMENT

A new section was added assigning specific duties to the Secretary of State, including determining dispenser locations, establishing restocking schedules, and overseeing procurement and installation.

The requirement for the Department of Central Management Services to coordinate with school districts to ensure staff responsible for toilet paper also stock menstrual products was removed.

FISCAL

The provision allowing the Department of Central Management Services to award grants to units of local government or school districts to help them implement the policy was removed.
