AJR 42 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates March 10 of each year as "COVID-19 Memorial Day."

AJR 42 designates March 10 of each year as "COVID-19 Memorial Day" in New Jersey to honor all residents who died from the pandemic. The resolution requests the Governor lower state flags to half-staff and issue a proclamation encouraging public observance of the day. It directly affects all New Jersey residents through this annual commemoration, recognizing over 23,000 local deaths and the pandemic's impact. The bill contains no new regulations or funding but establishes a formal day of remembrance. This is a procedural resolution, not a policy change affecting specific groups or programs.
