AJR 131 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permanently designates the first Friday in February as "Give Kids a Smile Day" in New Jersey.

AJR 131 permanently designates the first Friday in February as "Give Kids A Smile Day" in New Jersey. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing this day, aiming to educate families about oral health, connect underserved children with dental care, and raise public awareness about access to dental services. It formalizes an existing annual observance based on the national "Give Kids a Smile" program, which provides free dental screenings and care to children in need. As a commemorative resolution, it does not allocate funding or create new programs but strengthens statewide recognition of this initiative.
