Establishes the "New Jersey Feminine Hygiene Product Donations Immunity Act."
This bill, the "New Jersey Feminine Hygiene Product Donations Immunity Act" (A2004), creates legal protection for individuals and organizations that donate feminine hygiene products (like tampons, pads, or cups) to charities or shelters. It shields good faith donors (including hospitals) and nonprofit distributors from lawsuits if donated products are "apparently usable" (meeting basic quality standards), unless harm results from gross negligence or intentional misconduct. The law directly affects homeless shelters, community organizations serving underserved women, and donors who wish to provide these products without legal risk. It aims to support women experiencing period poverty - particularly those in homelessness or low-income situations - by encouraging donations without fear of liability.
