NJ SCR102

Urges the President of the United States to expand access to free menstrual products in schools nationwide by interpreting Title IX protections more broadly

Argues that lack of menstrual product access creates sex-based educational disparities, as over half of menstruating high school students miss school, arrive late, or leave early due to lack of products

Notes that low-income students may resort to unsafe alternatives like toilet paper, socks, or rags, or extend tampon/pad use beyond safe limits, risking infection and toxic shock syndrome

Calls for Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to be expanded through interpretation, regulation, and guidance to ensure adequate restroom facilities and menstrual products in every restroom

Directs copies of the resolution to be sent to the President, congressional leadership, and all New Jersey members of Congress
