Overview
This bill requires certain New Jersey libraries, located in municipalities with a high percentage of low-income residents, to provide free menstrual hygiene products like tampons and sanitary napkins in both women’s and all-gender restrooms. The state will cover the costs associated with providing these products. The bill aims to address ‘period poverty,’ a lack of access to menstrual products that can impact people’s ability to fully participate in daily life.
