NJ S2243

Each New Jersey public institution of higher education must convene a menstrual equity task force appointed by the institution's president to advance access to menstrual hygiene products on campus.

Task force membership must include a cross-section of campus stakeholders: student body representatives, faculty and staff, administration, student housing, athletics, student health centers, food pantries, and facilities management.

Within 6 months, each task force must submit a comprehensive plan including estimates of individuals needing free products, suitable distribution locations, projected costs, and an implementation timeline.

Institution presidents must fully implement the menstrual equity plan within 12 months of the act's effective date, with plans also submitted to the Governor and Legislature.

Each task force expires 30 days after submitting its plan to the institution's governing body.
