Requires certain libraries to provide free menstrual hygiene products and requires State to pay costs.

This bill requires libraries in New Jersey municipalities or counties where 40%+ of residents live below 1.85x the federal poverty line to provide free menstrual hygiene products (tampons and sanitary napkins) in all women’s and all-gender restrooms. It also mandates that these libraries display educational pamphlets about menstrual health topics like toxic shock syndrome and proper disposal. The state, not the libraries, will cover all costs for purchasing and maintaining these products. The law applies to libraries funded partly by municipal or county taxes and aims to address period poverty by ensuring access to essential products and information.
