Montana HB734

The legislature finds that menstrual products are specifically designed for individuals who experience menstruation, a biological function exclusive to females and that providing menstrual products in male-designated restrooms is unnecessary and represents an inefficient use of public funds.

"Female" means a member of the human species who, under normal development, has XX chromosomes and produces or would produce relatively large, relatively immobile gametes, or eggs, during her life cycle and has a reproductive and endocrine system oriented around the production of those gametes. An individual who would otherwise fall within this definition, but for a biological or genetic condition, is female.

"Male" means a member of the human species who, under normal development, has XY chromosomes and produces or would produce small, mobile gametes, or sperm, during his life cycle and has a reproductive and endocrine system oriented around the production of those gametes. An individual who would otherwise fall within this definition, but for a biological or genetic condition, is male.

A public educational institution may not provide, install, or maintain menstrual product dispensers in male-designated restrooms. (2) Existing menstrual product dispensers in male-designated restrooms must be removed within 60 days. [...] If a public educational institution fails to comply within the designated timeframe, the appropriate overseeing authority may withhold a portion of administrative funding until compliance is achieved.
