Designated May of each year as "Foster Care Month" in New Jersey.

This bill designates May of each year as "Foster Care Month" in New Jersey to raise awareness about the state's foster care system and honor the professionals and caregivers who support children in care. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic designation to encourage public recognition and community engagement with foster care issues. It requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation calling for appropriate observances during the designated month. The bill focuses on promoting visibility for the approximately 3,100 children in New Jersey's foster care system and acknowledging the work of child welfare professionals.
