**Changing the Lives of Students: New Legislation for Free Menstrual Products in Schools**

Recent legislation in Colorado, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and New York is transforming the educational experience for students by ensuring access to free menstrual products. Colorado's House Bill 24-1164 mandates free products in all public schools, while Nebraska's new pilot program will provide $250,000 for school districts starting in 2025. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro proposed a $3 million investment in public schools for free menstrual products, strongly supported by Pennsylvania's First Lady. In New York, Bill A04060 would require public colleges and universities to provide free menstrual products in restrooms. These initiatives promote health, dignity, and educational equity for all students.
