S 2074 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes State holiday on September 11 of each year.

This bill adds September 11 as a state holiday called "9/11 Remembrance Day" for New Jersey. It directly affects state government employees (who receive the day off with pay) and businesses (which must treat the day as a public holiday for operations and financial transactions). The bill amends existing laws to include September 11 in the list of paid holidays for state workers and public holidays for business purposes, aligning with the state's recognition of the 2001 terrorist attacks. The holiday aims to honor victims and first responders, with no changes to other existing holiday schedules.
