Bill > S2302

This bill establishes the "New Jersey Feminine Hygiene Products for the Homeless Act," which requires emergency shelters in New Jersey that serve female residents to provide feminine hygiene products, such as sanitary napkins, tampons, and panty liners, free of charge to women and girls residing in the shelters. The bill recognizes that the cost of these essential products can be a significant burden for women and girls experiencing homelessness, and aims to address period inequity and ensure access to basic feminine hygiene and sanitation needs for this vulnerable population. The Department of Community Affairs is tasked with adopting rules and regulations to implement the provisions of the act.
