HB 2921 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Require Correctional Facilities to provide free feminine hygiene products

HB 2921 requires West Virginia correctional facilities, regional jails, and juvenile detention centers to provide free feminine hygiene products - such as tampons and sanitary napkins - to female inmates and female juveniles upon request. Facilities must supply these products within eight hours of a request, with no cost charged to the individual. This applies to all state correctional facilities, regional jails, and juvenile detention centers statewide. The bill amends existing law to explicitly exempt these products from inmate fees and ensures timely access to essential hygiene items.
