Designates neon yellow as official color to raise awareness of suicide among veterans.
AJR 29 designates neon yellow (Pantone 395) as New Jersey's official color to raise awareness of veteran suicide, referencing the statistic that 22 veterans die by suicide each day. The resolution takes immediate effect and aims to draw attention to existing mental health support programs for veterans, aligning with similar efforts in other states like Pennsylvania's "Vet 22" initiative. It does not create new programs or funding but serves as a symbolic state-level acknowledgment of veteran mental health challenges.
