A 2428 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires that free menstrual products be provided in the bathrooms of private colleges and universities

This bill requires all private colleges and universities in the state to provide free menstrual products in commonly used restrooms for students. It directly affects students at private higher education institutions by ensuring access to these products at no cost. The key provision mandates that institutions supply products (like pads or tampons) in restrooms without charging students, as specified in the new Public Health Law section 267-c. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
