AJR 77 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates May of each year as "Bag Up NJ Month."

AJR 77 designates May of each year as "Bag Up NJ Month" to raise public awareness about reducing single-use plastic bags and promoting reusable alternatives. The resolution requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging educational activities, such as community programs and reusable bag distributions, to support New Jersey's existing law (P.L.2020, c.117) that phased out single-use plastic and paper carryout bags starting May 2022. It does not create new regulations but aims to foster widespread behavioral change through public education.
