✔️ HB29
Regards inmates' access to feminine hygiene products and showers
Current Status: Sent To The Governor
Summary
The bill mandates that county and municipal correctional facilities, as well as state correctional institutions, provide female inmates with free access to feminine hygiene products and at least one shower per day, except during emergencies. Facilities must implement policies to ensure non-discriminatory access to these products and maintain sanitary disposal methods.
Rationale
The bill supports individual rights by ensuring access to necessary hygiene products and sanitary conditions for female inmates, aligning with the Libertarian principles of personal liberty and self-ownership. However, it involves government regulation of correctional facilities, which may be seen as a limitation on free market principles.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased government oversight in correctional facilities
- Implementation challenges in maintaining compliance with the bill's requirements
