Provides for free feminine hygiene products under certain circumstances; appropriates $500,000.
This New Jersey bill requires institutions of higher education and private employers with 100 or more employees to provide free feminine hygiene products to students and staff. It also mandates that public restrooms accessible to the menstruating population stock these items, while establishing a $500,000 grant program to support implementation at community colleges. The legislation defines covered products as sanitary napkins, tampons, panty liners, menstrual cups, and disks, and requires agencies receiving federal funds to include provisions for these products in their applications.
