Requires each public institution of higher education to convene menstrual equity task force.*
New Jersey's S 2611 requires all public colleges and universities to provide free menstrual products (tampons and sanitary napkins) in all campus buildings, including lecture halls, residence halls, and administrative offices. Specifically, products must be available in all women’s restrooms, all-gender restrooms, and at least one men’s restroom per building, with a variety of options including different absorbencies and allergy-friendly brands. Institutions must also install dispensers (without replacing existing ones if functional), provide educational materials about menstrual health, and submit costs for state reimbursement. This directly affects students and staff at New Jersey’s public higher education institutions.
