Bill Summary

A BILL To encourage the donation of menstrual products to nonprofit organizations for distribution, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "Good Samaritan Menstrual Products Act," aims to encourage the donation of menstrual products to nonprofit organizations by providing legal protection to donors and recipients. Specifically, the bill limits civil and criminal liability for individuals, manufacturers, distributors, and nonprofit organizations when they donate or distribute menstrual products in good faith. The bill defines menstrual products broadly to include sanitary napkins, tampons, liners, cups, and menstrual underwear. Products must be "apparently usable," meaning they meet all relevant quality and labeling standards, even if they might not be considered marketable. The liability protection does not apply in cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct that results in injury or death to a product's user. By offering these legal protections, the bill seeks to reduce barriers to donating menstrual products and help ensure that individuals in need have access to these essential items.
