HB 4900 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 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 4900 requires all West Virginia county boards of education to provide free feminine hygiene products (such as pads and tampons) to female students in public elementary, middle, and high schools. The bill mandates this access using existing school appropriations for hygiene products, without requiring new state funding. It directly affects female students in every public K-12 school across the state. The key provision is a mandatory requirement for schools to ensure these products are available, funded through current budget allocations for school hygiene supplies.
