The resolution designates the third full week in April as Infertility Awareness Week in New Jersey, highlighting the significant impact of infertility on couples. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in eight couples experience infertility, which is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of trying. Infertility affects both men and women equally, with male infertility contributing to about 50% of cases. The resolution emphasizes the emotional and financial challenges faced by couples dealing with infertility, including feelings of distress, anxiety, and a loss of self-esteem.

To promote awareness and understanding of infertility, the resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to engage in activities and programs that support this cause. By raising awareness, the resolution aims to remove barriers to care and reduce the stigma surrounding infertility, fostering greater empathy and support for those affected. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
