MONTGOMERY, Ala (AP) - The Alabama Legislature on Thursday advanced a bill to require public schools to provide menstrual products.
The state House of Representatives on Thursday voted 97-0 for the bill by Rep. Rolanda Hollis of Birmingham. It would require public schools to make feminine hygiene products available to students.
Hollis said “period poverty” affects every county in the state.
The bill moves to the Alabama Senate. However, it is unlikely to reach final passage with few meeting days remaining.

Lift ev’ry voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
It’s Black History Month, and I miss hearing the chorus from Booker T. Washington Magnet High or the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church congregation as they belt out this moving melody, composed by brothers James Weldon and J. Rosamond Johnson.
