Designates March 1 of every year as "Endometriosis Awareness Day" in New Jersey.
SJR 115 designates March 1 of every year as "Endometriosis Awareness Day" in New Jersey. This resolution directly affects residents - particularly those with endometriosis, a condition impacting roughly 1 in 10 menstruating individuals worldwide - and encourages public awareness. The key mechanism requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation urging public officials and citizens to observe the day with activities. It aligns New Jersey with national efforts during "Endometriosis Awareness Month" (March) to highlight the disease, which often causes delayed diagnosis and significant health impacts. The resolution takes effect immediately upon passage.
