Would protect donors of menstrual products from lawsuits, encouraging more donations.

This bill would make it easier for individuals, companies, and charities to donate menstrual products to people who need them. It would protect donors and nonprofit groups from lawsuits related to these donations, as long as they acted responsibly. This could mean more menstrual products are available for individuals who need them.

What Would Change

Today, individuals, companies, and nonprofits might face lawsuits for issues with donated menstrual products. This can make them hesitant to donate or distribute. If this bill becomes law, these groups would be protected from civil or criminal lawsuits. This protection applies when they donate or distribute apparently usable menstrual products in good faith. This aims to encourage more donations for individuals who need them.

Key Provisions

Lets people, manufacturers, and distributors donate menstrual products without civil or criminal liability if they act in good faith.
Lets nonprofit organizations receive and distribute donated menstrual products without civil or criminal liability if they act in good faith.
Blocks liability protection for donors or nonprofits if their actions involve extreme carelessness or intentional wrongdoing that causes harm.
