Bill > A2193

This bill, known as the "New Jersey Feminine Hygiene Product Donations Immunity Act," aims to address "period poverty," which is the lack of access to feminine hygiene products, by protecting those who donate these essential items. It grants immunity from civil and criminal liability to individuals and entities, including hospitals and health care facilities, who donate feminine hygiene products in good faith to bona fide charitable or nonprofit organizations for free distribution. This protection applies even if the donated products are not perfectly marketable due to minor issues, as long as they are "apparently usable," meaning they meet quality and labeling standards. The bill also extends this same immunity to the charitable organizations and their employees or volunteers who distribute these products, provided their actions do not involve gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. The act defines "feminine hygiene product" broadly to include items like sanitary napkins, tampons, liners, cups, and underwear used for menstruation, and it takes effect immediately.
