Designates October 11 of each year as "Perimenopause Day" in New Jersey.
SJR 87 designates October 11 of each year as "Perimenopause Day" in New Jersey. The bill aims to raise awareness about perimenopause - the natural transitional phase before menopause (often beginning 8-10 years prior) - and its symptoms, such as irregular periods, hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep issues. It seeks to combat stigma and misinformation by encouraging public education about this stage, which many mistakenly attribute to aging or stress, potentially delaying proper medical care. The resolution directs the Governor to issue an annual proclamation and urges New Jersey residents and officials to observe the day with awareness activities. This is a symbolic recognition measure with no new funding or regulatory changes.
