Designates October as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness Month in New Jersey.

The bill designates October of each year as "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness Month" in New Jersey. This aims to educate families on the causes of SIDS and promote research into best practices for reducing its occurrence. The Governor is requested to issue a proclamation annually recognizing this month and encouraging appropriate activities and programs. SIDS, the unexplained death of an infant under one year old while sleeping, remains a significant cause of infant mortality, with racial disparities persisting in its occurrence.
