Designates the month of September as "National Obesity Awareness Month" in New Jersey.
SJR 155 designates September as "National Obesity Awareness Month" in New Jersey. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and residents to observe the month with awareness activities focused on obesity prevention. The resolution does not create new programs, funding, or regulations - only designates a month for public awareness. It references New Jersey's rising adult obesity rate (25.6% as of 2015) and associated health risks, but the bill itself is purely symbolic.
