General Document Comments 0
- This bill is about making companies clearly label what’s inside menstrual products like pads, tampons, and menstrual cups.
- It says that starting January 1, 2027, any menstrual product sold in Utah has to list certain chemicals (like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and PFAS) and any other ingredients that were added on purpose on the package.
- The list of ingredients has to be easy to see and read on the outside of the package, and the main ingredients must be listed in order by how much of them is in the product (by weight).
- Utah’s Division of Consumer Protection is put in charge of making rules about these labels and enforcing them, and they can fine companies up to $2,500 per violation, and even more if a company ignores court or agency orders.
If you were explaining this bill to a friend at school in just 3–4 sentences, what would you say—and do you want to click Continue with AI to talk that out here, or go to Create Document to start drafting or uploading something to work on?
You’re looking at a really specific, current bill (H.B. 442 on menstrual product labeling), and then asking how Sen. Jen Plumb tends to line up on issues like that. That’s a smart way to think about representation—by connecting a concrete bill to a person’s larger patterns.
Here’s what I can see and reasonably infer, but note: I don’t see a public record yet of how she has voted or spoken specifically on HB0442, so what follows is about her general positions and likely stance, not a confirmed “yes/no” on that exact bill.
- Dr. Jen Plumb is a Democratic state senator and pediatric emergency doctor whose career focus has been public health, especially overdose prevention and harm reduction, and she runs Utah Naloxone ((Jen Plumb for Senate, n.d.); (“Jennifer Plumb,” n.d.)).
- On her campaign/official materials, she emphasizes that health policy should be driven by “data, science, and experience,” and she pushes for transparency and protections in health‑related policy areas ((Jen Plumb for Senate, n.d.)).
- HB0442 is framed as a consumer‑protection/public‑health bill: it puts menstrual products under the Division of Consumer Protection and requires labeling of certain metals and intentionally added ingredients, with enforcement tools such as fines and court actions ((H.B. 442, Feminine Hygiene Products Amendments, 2026)).
- Given her track record—pushing for naloxone access, testifying on public‑health issues, and sponsoring measures like human composting that she frames as evidence‑based and dignity‑focused—it’s reasonable to expect she would look favorably on a bill that increases health‑related transparency and is administered through a regulatory, data‑oriented framework, though we’d need her actual vote or statement to be sure ((Terry, 2025)).
If you wanted to write to Sen. Plumb about HB0442, what’s one clear sentence you might use to explain why menstrual‑product labeling matters to you—and do you want to keep drafting that sentence by clicking Continue with AI, or would you rather go to Create Document to start a note or upload this bill text and annotate it?
