SR 102 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges Congress to pass "Improving Menopause Care for Veterans Act of 2025."

This New Jersey Senate Resolution urges the United States Congress to pass the "Improving Menopause Care for Veterans Act of 2025," which would directly affect women veterans experiencing perimenopause or menopause. The proposed federal legislation would require the Comptroller General to study and report on the medical services the Department of Veterans Affairs provides to veterans dealing with menopause symptoms and would mandate that the VA Secretary improve access to and the quality of such care. Because menopause symptoms can be worsened by military service-related health issues, the resolution highlights the need for tailored services to help women veterans manage conditions like hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. As a Senate Resolution, this document serves as a formal recommendation rather than a law itself, aiming to encourage federal action to support the health needs of approximately 630,000 women veterans in their 40s and 50s.
