AJR 150 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates September 21 of each year as "New Jersey Pedestrian Crosswalk Safety Day."

AJR 150 designates September 21 of each year as "New Jersey Pedestrian Crosswalk Safety Day" to honor Bruce Morlack, a Burlington crossing guard who died protecting students. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging residents, schools, and communities to observe the day with safety-focused activities. It does not create new laws or funding but commemorates Morlack's legacy and promotes pedestrian safety awareness. This ceremonial resolution affects all New Jersey residents and public officials through its annual observance.
