S.2823

New Jersey S2823 mandates certain libraries to offer free menstrual hygiene products and educational pamphlets in their restrooms.

New Jersey S2823 requires libraries in municipalities or counties where at least 40% of residents have incomes at or below 185% of the federal poverty level to provide free menstrual hygiene products and educational pamphlets in women's and all-gender restrooms. The state will cover the costs for these products. This measure aims to address period poverty, which affects millions in the U.S. and can prevent individuals from fully participating in daily life.
