Section 1905 of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1396d ) is amended— in subsection (a)— by redesignating paragraphs
(30)and
(31)as paragraphs
(31)and (32), respectively; and by inserting after paragraph
(29)the following new paragraph: menstrual products (as defined in subsection (hh)); ; and by adding at the end the following new subsection: For purposes of subsection (a)(30), the term menstrual products means sanitary napkins, tampons, liners, cups, and similar items used by individuals with respect to menstruation and that conform to industry standards. . Subject to paragraph (2), the amendments made by this section shall apply with respect to medical assistance furnished during or after the first calendar quarter beginning on or after the date that is 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act. In the case of a State plan under title XIX of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq. ) that the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines requires State legislation in order for the respective plan to meet any requirement imposed by amendments made by this section, the respective plan shall not be regarded as failing to comply with the requirements of such title solely on the basis of its failure to meet such an additional requirement before the first day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the close of the first regular session of the State legislature that begins after the date of the enactment of this Act. For purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of a State that has a 2-year legislative session, each year of the session shall be considered to be a separate regular session of the State legislature.
