Designates October of each year as "Spina Bifida Awareness Month" in New Jersey.

SJR 14 designates October of each year as "Spina Bifida Awareness Month" in New Jersey. This ceremonial resolution does not create new laws or allocate funds but aims to raise public awareness about spina bifida, a neural tube birth defect affecting the spine. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging state officials and citizens to observe the month with awareness activities. The resolution directly affects New Jersey residents living with spina bifida, including the estimated 152 individuals identified in recent state health data. The bill's purpose is solely to promote annual recognition of the condition, not to change policy or treatment.
