The resolution designates March 30th of each year as Menstrual Toxic Shock Syndrome (MTSS) Awareness Day in New Jersey. MTSS is a preventable illness primarily caused by bacterial infections, affecting over 17 in 100,000 women aged 13 to 25 annually, with little progress made in reducing cases since the 1980s. Risk factors include the use of highly absorbent tampons and certain medical conditions, while symptoms can range from mild to severe, potentially leading to organ damage or death.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about MTSS to help citizens recognize and prevent this illness. It requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation to acknowledge the day and encourages public officials and residents to participate in related programs and activities. The resolution aims to promote education and prevention efforts regarding MTSS in the state.
