SJR 49 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates March 30th of each year "Menstrual Toxic Shock Syndrome Awareness Day."

SJR 49 designates March 30th of each year as "Menstrual Toxic Shock Syndrome Awareness Day" in New Jersey. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to encourage public awareness about this preventable illness, which affects menstruating people (particularly those using certain menstrual products like highly absorbent tampons). It does not create new laws or funding but aims to highlight prevention through annual recognition. This is a symbolic, non-binding resolution focused on education.
