Requires school districts to incorporate age-appropriate instruction on menstrual toxic shock syndrome and requires installation of signage in certain women's rooms to enhance public awareness of menstrual toxic shock syndrome.

This bill (A6289) requires New Jersey school districts to include age-appropriate lessons about menstrual toxic shock syndrome (MTSS) in health classes for grades 4-12, covering causes, symptoms, and risk-reduction methods. It also mandates that owners of public restrooms in commercial buildings (with two or more toilets) install visible signs alerting women to MTSS warning signs and risks, placed near tampon dispensers or in prominent locations. The Commissioner of Education will provide sample lesson materials, and the Department of Health will create online resources and set standards for the required signage. The law applies to public restrooms in places like malls or offices, excluding elementary school restrooms without grades above fifth.
