Designates September of each year as "Menopause Awareness Month" in New Jersey.
This bill designates September of each year as "Menopause Awareness Month" in New Jersey. It directly affects women in New Jersey aged 40-59 (approximately 1.2 million residents in 2019), raising awareness about menopause - a natural stage marked by permanent cessation of menstrual periods after 12 months without them. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public awareness activities during September to address symptoms like hot flashes and emotional changes, while promoting open discussion about menopause. It aligns with a national observance but does not create new laws or funding.
