Designates October 11 of each year as "Perimenopause Day" in New Jersey, aligning with the internationally recognized "World Perimenopause Day."

Aims to raise awareness about perimenopause, a transitional phase that typically begins 8-10 years before menopause and involves declining ovary function and estrogen production.

Seeks to combat stigma and misinformation, noting that many individuals attribute perimenopause symptoms to aging, stress, or depression, which can delay appropriate medical treatment.

Authorizes the Governor to annually issue a proclamation and call upon public officials and residents to observe the day with appropriate activities and programs.

Takes effect immediately upon passage.
