An Act To Make Menstrual Products Available In Certain Schools
LD 155 requires all Maine public schools serving grades 6-12 to provide free menstrual products (tampons and pads) in every school bathroom at no cost to students. This applies to all school administrative units across the state. The bill directly affects students in middle and high schools by ensuring immediate access to essential hygiene products during school hours. It mandates that schools make these products available in all bathrooms, eliminating cost barriers for students who need them. The policy change is a straightforward requirement for school facilities, not a funding mechanism or new program.
