SJR 125 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates third full week in April of each year as "Infertility Awareness Week" in New Jersey.

SJR 125 designates the third full week in April each year as "Infertility Awareness Week" in New Jersey through a symbolic resolution. It does not create new laws or services but officially recognizes infertility as a public health issue affecting approximately one in eight couples, with male infertility contributing to about half of cases. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public awareness activities to reduce stigma and increase support for those experiencing infertility, which can cause psychological distress and financial strain. This designation applies statewide and aligns with national awareness efforts, though it has no legal enforcement power.
