A RESOLUTION

Urging statewide support for the "Georgia Menstrual Equity Act of 2026," an act promoting equitable access to menstrual products to reduce period poverty, improve public health, and support student success; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, period poverty affects thousands of Georgia residents, disproportionately impacting students, low-income families, and individuals in underserved communities; and

WHEREAS, the inability to access menstrual products leads to missed school days, work absences, and public health concerns; and

WHEREAS, eliminating the 4 percent state sales tax on menstrual products will make these essential items more affordable; and

WHEREAS, providing free menstrual products in public schools, courthouses, government buildings, and university buildings promotes dignity, supports public health, reduces absenteeism, and affirms that menstrual care is a basic health necessity; and

WHEREAS, local governments, private businesses, and nonprofit organizations are encouraged to support the implementation of the "Georgia Menstrual Equity Act of 2026" through partnerships, donations, and awareness campaigns; and

WHEREAS, the "Georgia Menstrual Equity Act of 2026" furthers this state's commitment to gender equity, health equity, and educational access.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body urge statewide support for the "Georgia Menstrual Equity Act of 2026," an act promoting equitable access to menstrual products to reduce period poverty, improve public health, and support student success.
