AJR 79 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates last weekend in October as "Honor Your Hometown Weekend."

AJR 79 is a ceremonial resolution (not a binding law) that designates the last weekend in October as "Honor Your Hometown Weekend" in New Jersey. It would have asked the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging residents, communities, and businesses to celebrate their hometowns through local events. The resolution also requested the Governor to urge Congress and the President to establish a similar national observance. This measure was withdrawn on January 13, 2026, after being approved as part of P.L.2025, JR-14, meaning it did not become law. It had no direct policy impact or funding changes - only symbolic recognition.
