Tennessee SB0587 establishes a pilot program for hygiene vending machines in eligible schools.
Tennessee SB0587 amends Tennessee Code to create a pilot program for placing hygiene vending machines in eligible schools. These machines will dispense feminine hygiene products at no cost to students. The Department of Health will administer the program, selecting schools based on the percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The bill defines "eligible school" and "feminine hygiene product," and encourages collaboration with various organizations to support the program. The program will take effect upon becoming law and apply to the 2025-2026 school year and each year thereafter.
