Sec. 30. Menstrual hygiene products in public restrooms.
(a) The General Assembly finds that:

10300HB3093sam002 - 2 - LRB103 30407 BMS 62097 a
(1) menstrual hygiene products are a health care
necessity and not an item that can be forgone or
substituted easily; and
(2) access to menstrual hygiene products is a serious
and ongoing need in this State.
(b) As used in this Section:
"Menstrual hygiene products" means tampons and sanitary
napkins for use in connection with the menstrual cycle.
"Public restroom" means any public toilet facility that is
available without preference to any specific gender or any
public toilet facility that is available only to women.
"Public restroom" does not include any public toilet facility
in a mosque, temple, church, and other places of worship if the
provision of menstrual hygiene products would conflict with
the entity's sincerely held religious beliefs, practices, or
observances.
(c) This Section applies to any existing or future public
buildings, as that term is defined in Section 18.
(d) In a public restroom owned and operated by the State or
any county, the State or applicable county shall make
available and accessible in that public restroom menstrual
hygiene products at no cost and shall be responsible for
ordering, stocking, and replenishing the supply of those
products in that restroom. This subsection does not apply to
the Department of Natural Resources, which, subject to
appropriation, may establish a pilot program to make menstrual

10300HB3093sam002 - 3 - LRB103 30407 BMS 62097 a
hygiene products available, at no cost to the public, in each
public restroom that is equipped with flush toilets and
serviced daily at 5 State parks under the jurisdiction and
control of the Department of Natural Resources.
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.".
