"Menstrual Equity for Haitian Migrants Act."

The Menstrual Equity for Haitian Migrants Act would create a program providing free menstrual hygiene products (like pads, tampons, and menstrual cups) to Haitian migrants in New Jersey who have lived in the state for at least two years. The New Jersey Department of Health would partner with community, faith-based, and nonprofit organizations serving Haitian migrants to distribute these products and conduct outreach to eligible individuals. Funding would come from annual state appropriations and potential grants, with the department required to submit an annual report on the program's effectiveness. This law directly addresses period poverty affecting Haitian migrants, who face economic and cultural barriers to accessing these essentials, as highlighted by data showing approximately 46,000 Haitian migrants reside in New Jersey.
