SJR 90 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates October as "Lead Poisoning Awareness Month."

SJR 90 designates October each year as "Lead Poisoning Awareness Month" in New Jersey to raise public awareness about lead exposure risks. The resolution specifically highlights dangers like developmental delays in children from lead paint in older homes (pre-1978) and health issues for adults from occupational exposure. It does not create new laws or programs but requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to promote education on prevention and screening methods. This symbolic designation directly affects New Jersey residents by encouraging community awareness of lead poisoning risks.
