NJ SCR111

Urges the U.S. President to expand access to free menstrual products in schools nationwide through interpretation and guidance under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

Cites that more than half of high school students who menstruate are late, leave early, or miss school due to lack of menstrual products

Notes that low-income students may resort to unsafe alternatives like toilet paper, paper towels, or extended use of single products, risking infection and toxic shock syndrome

Argues Title IX's prohibition on sex discrimination should be interpreted to require adequate toilet facilities, lenient bathroom policies, and menstrual products in every restroom

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