House Bill 242 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to exempt a person, including a manufacturer or distributor, or a nonprofit organization from civil or criminal liability arising from the nature, age, packaging, or condition of a feminine hygiene product that the person donates in good faith to a nonprofit organization or that the nonprofit organization distributes to individuals in need of the products, respectively, if the donated product meets all quality and labeling standards imposed by law at the time the product is donated or distributed, even if the product is not readily marketable. The bill excepts from its provisions a person or nonprofit organization that intentionally or with gross negligence donates or distributes a product that results in injury to or death of an individual who uses or receives the product.
