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

SJR 49 designates March 30th each year as "Menstrual Toxic Shock Syndrome Awareness Day" in New Jersey. The bill aims to raise public awareness about Menstrual Toxic Shock Syndrome (MTSS), a preventable bacterial illness affecting approximately 17 in 100,000 women aged 13-25 annually. It requests the governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public awareness activities, though it does not create new laws or funding. The resolution focuses on educating residents about MTSS risk factors (like highly absorbent tampons) and symptoms (fever, rash, organ damage) to help prevent cases. This is a procedural designation with no new policy requirements.
