Requires school districts to incorporate age-appropriate instruction on menstrual toxic shock syndrome and requires installation of signage in certain women's rooms to enhance public awareness of menstrual toxic shock syndrome.

This New Jersey bill (A4477) requires public school districts to include age-appropriate lessons about menstrual toxic shock syndrome (a rare but serious condition linked to tampon use) in health classes for grades 4-12 starting in the 2026-2027 school year. It also mandates that owners of public restrooms in commercial buildings (with two or more toilets) install clear signage near tampon dispensers or in prominent locations, alerting women to the condition's symptoms and risks. The Commissioner of Education must provide schools with sample lesson materials, while the Department of Health will create online resources and rules for signage placement. The law directly affects all New Jersey public schools and commercial restroom facilities meeting specific occupancy criteria.
