"Madalyn's Law"; requires school districts to incorporate age-appropriate instruction on toxic shock syndrome and requires installation of signage in certain women's rooms to enhance public awareness of toxic shock syndrome.
"Madalyn's Law" requires New Jersey school districts to include age-appropriate toxic shock syndrome education in health classes for grades 4-12 starting in the 2020-2021 school year. It also mandates that owners of public restrooms with two or more toilets in commercial buildings (like shopping centers) install clear signage about toxic shock syndrome symptoms and risks near tampon dispensers or in visible locations. Violations carry $100 penalties per offense. The law excludes elementary school restrooms (grades below 5) and directs the Department of Health to create public awareness materials and signage standards.
