Designates April of each year as "Autism Awareness and Recognition Month" in NJ.
This bill designates April each year as "Autism Awareness and Recognition Month" in New Jersey to increase public understanding of autism spectrum disorders. The resolution asks the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging state officials and citizens to observe the month with appropriate activities and programs. It aims to highlight the diverse experiences of people with autism across families, workplaces, schools, and communities while promoting further research on the disorder. This measure directly affects state government operations and public awareness efforts but does not allocate funding or change existing laws.
