SJR 134 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates November of each year as "C. Difficile Awareness Month."

This bill designates November of each year as "C. Difficile Awareness Month" in New Jersey. It requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe the month with activities that increase awareness of C. Difficile, a harmful bacterial infection causing severe intestinal illness. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to promote education about preventing this infection, which affects hospital patients and contributes to significant healthcare costs. It directly affects New Jersey residents and healthcare workers by encouraging community awareness efforts during November.
