Summary
Ann Arbor is now the first U.S. city to require free menstrual products in all public restrooms. If you use city facilities downtown or in parks, that means one less thing to worry about—but the city has to fund and stock the program.

Impact analysis
The city or facility operators will pick up the tab for products, dispensers, and restocking, so expect modest ongoing public costs.
People who menstruate—especially anyone caught without supplies or facing cost barriers—get free access in public restrooms.
No groups are directly harmed, though taxpayers and facility operators may see small new costs.
