SJR 63 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates October 24th of each year as "National Senior UTI Awareness Day."

SJR 63 is a ceremonial resolution designating October 24th of each year as "National Senior UTI Awareness Day" in New Jersey. It aims to increase public awareness and reduce stigma around urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly for seniors who face higher infection risks, diagnostic challenges due to weakened immune systems, and historical lack of focused research. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation and directs the New Jersey Department of Health to publicize the day with educational materials about UTI symptoms and treatment. This is a symbolic measure with no new funding or regulations, focused solely on raising awareness.
