AJR 180 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates first Friday of May of each year as "NJ's Unplug Day."

This bill designates the first Friday of May each year as "NJ's Unplug Day" to encourage residents to reduce their use of electronic devices. The resolution asks the Governor to issue an annual proclamation inviting public officials, organizations, and citizens to participate by limiting screen time and engaging in alternative activities like reading or spending time with family. While the bill does not impose legal restrictions, it aims to raise awareness about the benefits of disconnecting from phones, computers, and other digital media for mental health and social well-being.
