## Text

3. Each emergency shelter for the homeless that serves female residents shall, subject to the availability of funds in the shelter's general budget, make feminine hygiene products, including, but not limited to, sanitary napkins, tampons, and panty liners, available free of charge to females residing in the emergency shelter for the homeless. A homeless shelter's obligation to satisfy the requirement of this section is contingent upon the availability of additional funds in the homeless shelter's budget that would permit the homeless shelter to both purchase feminine hygiene products as required by this section and continue its normal course of operations. L.2023, c.303, s.3.
