Designates September 11th of each year as "Heroes Day."
AJR 131 designates September 11th of each year as "Heroes Day" in New Jersey. This ceremonial resolution honors members of the Armed Forces, police officers, firefighters, and emergency services personnel for their service and sacrifices, particularly following the September 11, 2001 attacks. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance through appropriate activities. It does not create new laws, funding, or policy changes - it is a symbolic recognition of these first responders' contributions to state security and well-being. (AJR 131, sponsored by Assemblywoman Murphy)
