New Jersey Senate Resolution 50 urges Congress to pass the federal "Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act." The resolution highlights the maternal mortality and morbidity crisis in the United States, particularly among Black women, who have the highest maternal mortality rate and are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. The Momnibus Act, a legislative package consisting of 13 bills, aims to address the causes of maternal mortality, morbidity, and disparities by investing over $1 billion in social health determinants, expanding the perinatal workforce.
