Designates 9/11 Heart Symbol flag as official State flag; mandates it be displayed at certain public buildings and memorials.
This bill designates the "9/11 Heart Symbol flag" (featuring a red heart with "9-11-01 Never Forgotten" and twin tower imagery) as New Jersey's official state flag for remembrance purposes. It requires the flag to be displayed during normal business hours on September 11th each year at all state 9/11 memorial sites, the State House in Trenton, and the main municipal and county buildings in every municipality and county seat. The bill does not replace New Jersey's existing state flag or alter other flag protocols, focusing solely on annual commemoration of the September 11 attacks. It directly affects public buildings and memorials designated for 9/11 remembrance.
