Oregon bill requires free feminine products in schools
Tampons and pads would be available in school bathroom dispensers under proposed legislation
East Multnomah County freshman legislator Ricki Ruiz has introduced a bill in the Oregon Legislature that would require public schools and colleges to provide feminine hygiene products free to students.
The bill would make menstrual products available in all middle and high schools, community colleges, public universities and public charter schools at zero cost to the attending students, Ruiz said.
House Bill 3294, The Menstrual Dignity Act, was introduced by Ruiz and six other chief sponsors and 10 regular sponsors.
This is one of the first bills that 26-year-old Ruiz (D-Gresham) is shepherding through the legislature. Ruiz also sits on the Reynolds School District school board.

Diego Hernandez quits Reynolds School Board March 10 2021
His resignation comes after he stepped down from the Oregon Legislature after an investigation into hostile workplace complaints.
Diego Hernandez resigned from the Reynolds School Board on Wednesday, March 10, after stepping down last month from the Oregon House of Representatives amid controversy.
Board Chair Valerie Tewksbury announced at the March 10 school board meeting that the board received today a formal resignation from Director Hernandez.
Hernandez resigned from his position in the Oregon House of Representatives on Feb. 21, after an investigation found that he had created a hostile workplace in the Legislature for women.
Body-worn cameras
Maybe your school has a film department, but the most prolific cinematographers on your college campus are probably the police.
Since the early 2010s, body-worn cameras (BWCs) have become more and more common in the United States. This holds true for law enforcement agencies on university and college campuses. These cameras are attached to officers’ uniforms (often the chest or shoulder, but sometimes head-mounted) and capture interactions between police and members of the public. While BWC programs are often pitched as an accountability measure to reduce police brutality, in practice these cameras are more often used to capture evidence later used in prosecutions.
