AJR 39 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates June 11 of each year as "Day of Play" to raise awareness on importance of play.

AJR 39 designates June 11 of each year as "Day of Play" in New Jersey to raise public awareness about the importance of play for people of all ages. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging residents to prioritize play and organize activities. It highlights play's benefits for development, mental health, and social inclusion, referencing the United Nations' recognition of play as a child's right and its 2024 establishment of an International Day of Play. This procedural resolution does not create new laws but aims to promote existing play initiatives across the state.
