The start of 2024 marks the beginning of the 2nd year of the current legislative session. This is when a lot of work gets done.
An Act to increase access to disposable menstrual products (S.2491/H.534) This bill was passed unanimously by the Senate on 10/26/23 and was referred to the House Ways and Means Committee. This is a good time to remind our Representatives that we would like them to urge their Ways and Means Committee to send this bill to the House floor for a vote!

Subject: Urging support for S.2491/S.534, An Act to increase access to disposable menstrual products
Dear Representative _______________,
I am a constituent who believes we need free menstrual products in our schools, shelters and prisons. Providing necessary menstrual products is a solution to a social equity problem that has been ignored in the past. Many menstruating people do not have funds to buy necessary products after they pay for food and shelter. This causes them to miss school and work. I urge you to let the House Ways and Means Committee know that you want them to move S.2491/S.534 forward quickly so that the House can vote for it well before the close of formal sessions on July 31.
Thank you for your consideration and for your service to the Commonwealth.
Sincerely,
Your name, address, and contact information
