Plain-English Summary

The proposal would protect people who donate or distribute menstrual products from legal liability, similar to existing protections for food donations. This means individuals and organizations could safely give away unused menstrual products to people in need without fear of being sued or facing other legal consequences. The change would help address period poverty by encouraging more donations of these essential health products to communities and individuals who cannot afford them.
