Supports preservation of Columbus Day as federal and State holiday.

This New Jersey Senate resolution (SR 19) expresses symbolic support for preserving Columbus Day as both a federal and state holiday. It does not change current law but affirms the historical significance of Columbus's 1492 arrival and recognizes Italian-American heritage. The resolution specifically supports ongoing traditions like the New York City parade and sends copies to relevant organizations, the President, and New Jersey's congressional delegation. It has no legal effect but aligns with efforts by groups like Unico National to maintain the holiday.
