Designates March 10 of each year as "COVID-19 Memorial Day."
AJR 87 designates March 10 of each year as "COVID-19 Memorial Day" in New Jersey to honor all victims of the pandemic. The resolution requests the Governor to lower state flags to half-staff and issue a proclamation encouraging public observance through memorial activities. This commemorative resolution, not a policy change, directly affects all New Jersey residents by establishing an annual day of remembrance. It takes effect immediately upon passage and references New Jersey's pandemic timeline, including the first state death on March 10, 2020.
