Bill > S2243

This bill requires each public college and university in New Jersey to create and implement a plan to ensure "menstrual equity," which is defined as equal and comprehensive access to menstrual hygiene products without stigma or barriers. Instead of forming a dedicated task force, the president of each institution will be responsible for developing this plan, potentially by directing an existing Campus Hunger Task Force or establishing a new initiative. The plan must be developed within six months of the bill's effective date and address the number of students needing free products, where to distribute them, projected costs, and a timeline for full implementation within 12 months. The plan will then be submitted to the institution's governing body, the Governor, and the Legislature. The institution must then implement the plan within 12 months of the bill's effective date, though they can take action sooner.
