The New Jersey Feminine Hygiene Product Donations Immunity Act aims to address period poverty and inequity by providing legal immunity to individuals and organizations that donate feminine hygiene products to charitable and nonprofit entities. The bill recognizes the financial burdens faced by women, particularly those in underserved communities, and emphasizes the importance of ensuring access to these essential products. It establishes that good faith donors, including hospitals and health care facilities, as well as the organizations that distribute these products, will not be held civilly or criminally liable for any injuries or deaths resulting from the condition of the donated items, unless such outcomes are due to gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

The act defines "apparently usable" feminine hygiene products and outlines the responsibilities of the Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs to implement necessary regulations. By creating this immunity framework, the bill encourages donations of feminine hygiene products, thereby helping to alleviate the hardships faced by women and girls experiencing homelessness or other socioeconomic challenges. The act is set to take effect immediately, with provisions for anticipatory administrative actions to facilitate its implementation.
