Requires school districts to provide menstrual products for students in grades kindergarten through 12.
This bill requires New Jersey public school districts to provide free menstrual products (tampons and sanitary napkins) to all students and staff in grades K-12. It mandates that schools install and maintain dispensers in all women's restrooms, all-gender restrooms, and at least one men's restroom, offering a variety of products including allergy-friendly options. Schools must also ensure restrooms are clean with adequate supplies (toilet paper, soap), provide educational materials on menstrual health and disposal, and avoid restrictive bathroom policies. All costs for products and dispensers will be covered by the state, not school districts, and the law takes effect for the first full school year after enactment.
