Declares January 13 of each year as Korean American Day in New Jersey.
AJR 85 designates January 13 of each year as Korean American Day in New Jersey. This ceremonial resolution commemorates the arrival of the first Korean immigrants to the U.S. on January 13, 1903, and recognizes the contributions of Korean Americans to New Jersey and the nation. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance of the day. The bill directly affects New Jersey's Korean American community (over 168,000 residents) and aligns with national recognition established by U.S. Congress in 2005.
