HB 2839 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

To mandate county boards of education to provide feminine hygiene products in all public elementary, middle, and high schools for female students

HB 2839 requires all West Virginia public elementary, middle, and high schools to provide free feminine hygiene products to female students. County boards of education must supply these products using existing funds allocated for hygiene items, without requiring new state spending. The bill directly affects female students in public K-12 schools by ensuring access to these essential products during school hours. It establishes a clear policy change to address period poverty in educational settings through existing budget mechanisms.
