SJR 98 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates second week in May of each year as "Food Allergy Awareness Week."

SJR 98 designates the second full week in May each year as "Food Allergy Awareness Week" in New Jersey. The resolution requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public activities, such as distributing orange ribbons, to promote awareness. It directly affects New Jersey residents, particularly those managing food allergies, which impact millions of Americans including 6 million children. This procedural measure supports education about food allergies - where strict avoidance is the only prevention method - as stated in the resolution's background.
