AJR 88 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates April of each year as "Autism Acceptance Month" in NJ.

AJR 88 designates April of each year as "Autism Acceptance Month" in New Jersey. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe the month with activities raising awareness about autism spectrum disorders. This resolution aligns New Jersey with the existing National Autism Acceptance Month in April and addresses the state's status as having the highest autism rate in the U.S., per CDC data. It focuses on awareness rather than new programs or funding.
