Urges Congress to provide for joint session at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in honor of semiquincentennial of Declaration of Independence.

This New Jersey Assembly resolution (AR 154) urges Congress to hold a joint session at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on July 2, 2026, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It specifically references House Resolution 115, introduced in the 118th Congress, which proposes this commemorative session. The resolution has no legal effect - it is a symbolic request for Congress to honor the historical significance of the Declaration's approval at Independence Hall. It directly affects the U.S. Congress, as it asks lawmakers to consider convening in Philadelphia for this anniversary event.
