Center Square MD, Feb 27, 2025, Maryland House backs bill to allow contraceptives in school vending machines
The House of Delegates voted 89-41 this month to approve HB 380, a bill that changes a decades-old state law that made these types of sales in schools a misdemeanor offense.
Under the current law, anyone who offers contraceptives via a vending machine at a school would be fined $1,000 per violation.
Del. Nicole Williams, D-Prince George's County, introduced the bill to eliminate the $1,000 penalty and allow schools to install vending machines that dispense contraceptives on campuses from elementary to high schools.
