The resolution designates October 24th of each year as "National Senior UTI Awareness Day" in New Jersey, aiming to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding urinary tract infections (UTIs) among seniors. UTIs are the most common bacterial infections in the United States, with symptoms that include a frequent urge to urinate, burning sensations, and pain in the pubic area or back. The resolution highlights the increasing antibiotic resistance of UTIs and the challenges in diagnosing these infections in the elderly, who are at a higher risk due to factors such as a weakened immune system and societal stigma that discourages open discussion and medical care.

To promote this awareness day, the resolution requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials, private organizations, and citizens to observe the day with relevant activities and programs. Additionally, the Department of Health is tasked with publicizing National Senior UTI Awareness Day to educate residents, particularly seniors, about the symptoms and importance of seeking treatment for UTIs. The resolution aims to foster a more informed and supportive environment for seniors dealing with UTIs.
