Bill to combat period poverty in Alabama receives public hearing

Bill to combat ‘period poverty’ in Alabama receives public hearing Updated 12:48 PM; The Alabama House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday nudged forward a bill that aims to place free menstrual hygiene products in school bathrooms. The bill from Rep. Rolanda Hollis, D-58, as introduced requires local boards of education to provide feminine hygiene products in each women’s school restroom beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, for grades five through twelve, at no cost to students. “Period poverty is an issue that affects girls in every nation, every state and every city; every person who has a working uterus needs menstrual products every single month,” said Brooke Bennett, an eighth-grader who, along with her sister Breanna, founded Women in Training in 2019 to give free sanitary products, hygiene education and mentorship to girls, women and nonbinary people.

The House State Government Committee held a public hearing on the bill by Republican Rep. Mike Holmes of Wetumpka that would dramatically increase fines for violating the 2017 Memorial Preservation Act. Current law levies a flat $25,000 fine, which some cities have paid as a cost of removing controversial monuments to other locations.
