Provides for free feminine hygiene products under certain circumstances; appropriates $500,000.
This bill requires institutions of higher education in New Jersey to provide free feminine hygiene products and ensure that at least 75 percent of restrooms for menstruating individuals are stocked with them. It also mandates that private employers with 100 or more employees offer these products to their staff and requires public buildings with accessible restrooms to stock them as well. The legislation establishes a $500,000 grant program administered by the Department of Health to support these initiatives, with at least half of the funds directed to community colleges. Additionally, the bill requires state agencies receiving federal block grants to include provisions for distributing free feminine hygiene products or stipends to low-income individuals in need.
