Designates July 16 of each year as "Atomic Veterans Day" in New Jersey.

SJR 33 designates July 16 of each year as "Atomic Veterans Day" in New Jersey to honor military service members who participated in U.S. nuclear weapons tests (1945-1962), served near Hiroshima/Nagasaki, or were POWs in those areas. It specifically recognizes approximately 250,000 veterans, including New Jersey residents, who were historically barred from seeking VA medical care due to secrecy laws. The resolution requests the governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance but does not create new benefits or obligations. This is a symbolic gesture with no fiscal or regulatory impact.
