AI Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS) and Department of Health (DOH) to submit federal waivers to cover menstrual hygiene products under the NJ FamilyCare program, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). If the federal government denies the waivers, the bill establishes a state-funded program to provide these products to eligible recipients, defined as menstruators who are state residents and qualify for benefits under those programs. The bill appropriates $2 million for the state-funded program and requires DHS and DOH to launch an educational campaign to inform the public about the new benefits.
