AJR 142 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates October 18 of each year as "Postmenopause Day" in New Jersey.

AJR 142 designates October 18 of each year as "Postmenopause Day" in New Jersey to raise awareness about the period after menopause (when menstrual periods have ceased for 12 consecutive months). It specifically aims to highlight ongoing symptoms, health risks like osteoporosis, and management options for postmenopausal women - typically aged 40s to 60s - without creating new laws or funding. The resolution encourages the governor to issue an annual proclamation and invites public observance through community activities. This is a symbolic designation aligned with existing global observances like World Menopause Awareness Day.
