# November Menstruation Legislation Updates

December 2, 2022

It’s that time of the month😉 for our legislative roundup!

This Month’s Roundup:

- The Illinois Senate JUST passed a [bill](https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1401441/34727) that requires free period products in all institutions and facilities of the Department of Corrections! Products are now going to be provided for all committed people and employees of the Department who menstruate.
- The Texas legislature was busy introducing [3](https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1497130/34727) [bills](https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1497292/34727) in November to provide a [sales tax exemption](https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/texas-could-remove-period-products-sales-tax-in-next-legislative-session/) for period products.
- In Ohio, [legislation](https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/politics/ohio-politics/proposed-bill-would-require-ohio-prisons-to-provide-feminine-hygiene-products) was introduced to require correctional institutions to provide inmates with an adequate supply of period products at no cost.

### Founder’s Note

#### Claire Coder

Hi! I’m Claire. I founded Aunt Flow after getting my period in public without the supplies needed.  
At 18 years old, I dedicated my life to developing a solution to ensure businesses and schools could sustainably provide quality period products, for free, in bathrooms. Our products are made with organic cotton and we are constantly working to reduce our environmental impact! Since 2021, we've donated MILLIONS of period products to menstruators in need. I call this people helping people. PERIOD.®
