Requires State and county correctional facilities to make feminine hygiene products of varying absorbency levels available to female inmates.
This bill (S 4035) requires all New Jersey state and county correctional facilities to provide female inmates with free feminine hygiene products - such as tampons and sanitary pads - in multiple absorbency levels upon request. It amends existing law (P.L.2019, c.288) to replace the current requirement for "standard" products with a mandate for "varying absorbency levels" to better meet individual needs. The policy directly affects incarcerated women in all New Jersey correctional facilities, ensuring access to appropriate menstrual products without cost. This change updates current provisions that previously only required basic products to be available.
