S 3449 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Renames Blue Star Memorial Highway Council as Blue and Gold Star Memorial Highway Council; renames Blue Star Memorial Highway system as Blue and Gold Star Memorial Highway system.

This bill renames New Jersey's "Blue Star Memorial Highway Council" to the "Blue and Gold Star Memorial Highway Council" and changes the "Blue Star Memorial Highway system" to the "Blue and Gold Star Memorial Highway system" to honor Gold Star families (immediate relatives of military personnel killed in service). It requires the New Jersey Department of Transportation to update all highway signage across the state within 90 days of the law's effective date to reflect these new names. The change is symbolic, with no alteration to the council's existing duties or the highway system's purpose of maintaining roadside landscaping as living memorials for military service.
