AJR 71 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates June of each year as "Immigrant Heritage Month."

AJR 71 designates June of each year as "Immigrant Heritage Month" in New Jersey. This symbolic resolution, introduced by the legislature, does not create new laws or funding but asks the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public recognition of immigrants' contributions. It highlights New Jersey's large immigrant population (over 22% of residents) and their economic impact, such as owning 47% of "main street" businesses and contributing $54.6 billion in annual spending power. The resolution takes effect immediately upon passage.
