SJR 133 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 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 to increase public and healthcare worker awareness of Clostridioides Difficile infections. The measure establishes an annual observance period during which citizens and officials are encouraged to participate in activities and programs focused on educating the public about this bacterial infection and its prevention. The resolution also requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation to formally recognize the month and promote awareness efforts across the state. This symbolic designation aims to highlight the importance of infection prevention practices, such as proper hand hygiene and environmental cleaning, without mandating any specific policy changes or funding.
