SJR 86 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates October 18 of each year as "Postmenopause Day" in New Jersey.

SJR 86 designates October 18 of each year as "Postmenopause Day" in New Jersey to raise awareness about the health period after menopause. The resolution aims to inform residents about symptoms (like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and osteoporosis risks) and preventive care options, such as bone density screenings, that postmenopausal women may face. It aligns with existing global observances (World Menopause Awareness Day) and directs the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public recognition through community activities. This is a ceremonial resolution with no new regulations or funding, directly affecting postmenopausal women and healthcare awareness efforts in New Jersey.
