Provide immunity from liability for distribution of donated menstrual products
LB 545 provides legal protection from civil or criminal liability for individuals, manufacturers, distributors, and nonprofits that donate menstrual products (like tampons, pads, or cups) in good faith to those in need. It shields these groups from responsibility for injuries or deaths caused by the product's age, packaging, or condition - provided the item appears usable and meets basic quality standards under federal or state law. This immunity does not apply if gross negligence or intentional misconduct causes harm. The bill directly affects organizations distributing free menstrual products and the donors who provide them, ensuring they face no legal risk for minor product issues like expired packaging.
