AJR 163 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates April of each year as "Autism Awareness Month" in NJ.

This bill designates April as "Autism Awareness Month" in New Jersey to promote public understanding and acceptance of autism spectrum disorders. The resolution requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging state officials and citizens to observe the month with relevant activities and programs. It aims to highlight the diverse experiences of individuals with autism and their impact on families, schools, workplaces, and communities. The measure takes effect immediately and does not create new funding or mandate specific actions beyond awareness promotion.
