The bill mandates that correctional facilities in New Mexico provide free menstrual hygiene products to individuals in custody who menstruate or experience uterine or vaginal bleeding. It defines "correctional facility" as any jail, prison, or detention center operated by the state, local government, or private contractors, and specifies that "menstrual hygiene products" include panty liners, tampons, and pads. Facilities are required to develop and implement a policy ensuring that these products are available at no cost, allowing individuals to choose from various options and ensuring access upon admission and as needed without requiring a medical referral.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that menstrual hygiene products must be accessible to all individuals in custody, regardless of their confinement conditions, except in cases where restrictions are necessary to prevent injury. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
